Name: Stratum II: Caldera by Mothlord
Duration: 3 min 28 s
Description: Caldera is a dead world caught in an irreversible cycle of annihilation and rebirth. Once a fertile planet orbiting a now-obliterated star, it was spared complete extinction by chance — and then cursed by interference. Now, Caldera replays its last 72 hours in a fractured loop: a burning sky, crumbling cities, and the rising scream of a star about to die. When time expires, the cycle resets.

This is the latest single from Everyone Loves A Villain

Vocals & Lyrics by Pasi @tapatorametal
Guitars/ Drums/ Synth/ Fx/ Mix/ Production by Me :)
Mastered by Marvin/ Tidestudio

This whole track was a lot of experimenting and about exploring new genres and approaches to create music. Now I can't even tell the genre so feel free to help me out by putting a label on it ;)
Thanks to Pasi for contributing vocals and writing the lyrics. Had a blast working with you!!

==========================
Lyrics:

My life fades away, am I being replaced
Will I prevail or will I fail
Losing my ground, day after day
Can you hear, the sound of silence, my inner violence - waiting to find its passage out
Is this the endgame of my thoughts,
am I losing the weight of my f**kin words
This is the endgame of my presence and all
This is the endgame of my essence and all
 
Emptiness and void, my rightful joys,
leaving me wondering, the purpose and cause
The maze of life, not meant for all
Not meant for the ones, likely to fall
 
My essence keeps fading away
I won’t be contained
I can’t be replaced
 
Anger is here to stay
Am I destined to fade away - no, I won't be replaced
This cancelled time, my forthcoming joyless life - leaves me drifting
 
Programmed minds, leave humanity behind
The digits shall rule us all, the zeros the ones contain our thoughts
Trapped in this nightmare, created for all
What is left, the ghost in me or the ghost, in the machine
 
I gave my all, am I the one to fall
I gave my all,  who will listen my words
I gave my all, am I the one to fall
I gave my all, is there anyone who recalls
 
Don’t let my essence fade away, I can’t be replaced
I need to stay awake to find my way again
Or should I just, fade away

After creating the song “Boo Hoo” a little while back I knew I wanted to reuse elements of that project and style in a new song, and that new song is here with “Maestro”! It was exciting to add some new twists to this one and have another amazing vocalist sing it, and I hope you all like it!

Ever wonder what it might be like to be hunted by a vampire? Well hopefully this song and the wonderful Scarlett can show you! If you listen closely you might also be able to hear similar sounds to a different song of mine that I used as a starting point when working on this one, hope you all like it!

Some of you may know I’ve been a big fan of League of Legends music and around a year ago I got pretty excited hearing the vocals from their 2023 Worlds song “GODS”. However I thought the instrumental could have gone in a different direction for my tastes and decided to give it the Cjbeards cinematic treatment. Hope you all like the idea!
