A collaborative project with Minnesang (piano, lyrics, and vocals). I added drums and guitars, thus metalizing it. 

I can't think so clear anymore
Life is moving too fast
Can't you slow down for a moment or
Is that just too much to ask?

Haven't you people ever heard of seeking compromise?
I didn't realize I was being judged all this time for
Doing as little as I must do to get by

See me running away
But now I'm hiding
You're not invited
So don't try to find me

See me running away
But now I'm hiding
You're not invited
So don't try to find me

Not Invited (feat. Minnesang)

Music and Lyrics by Reuss Harvey

Sifting through the ashes of dreams that died
The past is gone and dead
There's nothing but nothing here for me
I'm broken, a lost cause to us all
You left me, led me far astray
I wander out among the trees
The darkness takes me far away inside
The past is gone and dead
There's nothing but nothing here for me
Bleeding out, leaving a shell
Build the wall, lock-up my cell
Turn the page, burn the tome
Leave me in hell
Sifting through the ashes of dreams that died
Staring at an empty wall (so cold)
Live by the pride, die by the fall
Waiting for the past to die (immortal)
A lesson learned, and away you fly (away)
Always thought you'd be right here
It's dark again, you're nowhere near (it's dark again)
I'm sifting through the ashes of dreams that died
Bleeding out, leaving a shell
Build the wall, lock-up my cell
Turn the page, burn the tome
Leave me in hell
Fuck
You said I'm every, everything to you
You lied
The ashes blow away
Fuck
Gone and dead
Dead
The past is gone and dead
Fuck

The Ashes of Dreams (Remastered)

Alone in a Storm

Symphony by Schizo of Reinkaos. I added drums and guitar. 

Sempiternal Torment

A faithful cover of Jungle Rot's aforementioned track from their 2006 album, Warzone.

Covers

Cut in Two (Jungle Rot cover)

Cut In Two

Final version. If one listens carefully, they might uncover this song's weird little secret. Free download.

(single)

The Mirror (Update)

The Mirror

Agony's Onslaught

Purgatory's final form. Guitars, drums, and additional effects by Stigma. Symphony arrangements were masterfully written/added by Absilentia.

Collaborations

Purgatory (Symphonic)

Purgatory

On higher ground 
Stand the antagonists with sovereign rights.
Unparalleled, spitting fires aghasting lands below.
Rulings unclear, desolation is beside them.
Orders ignored, desperation is their grain.

Unsurpassed, the elder times no longer reside.
Resurrect, these bearing few of intellect.
Now this hatred can be shared amongst their brothers.
Welcome, freshly resurrected.

In defiance 
Of finding the blood
Worth the conversion
To halcyon gold

These risen dead will carry their weight.
Unlike the enemy, their bones won't break
And their blood will not pour.
This death march will replace the long-awaited rapture
To leave it a myth, as it always was.

Crystals are only as bright 
As the amount of dirt they never touched.
Whelm in mock of adherence
To be granted their rivals' regards.

Concluded to fields of disastrous dead to consume.
What has been forgotten by their so-called god?
Collapsing the landscapes, marching for righteousness.
We adhere to nothing besides leading you into your grave.

Freshly Resurrected

Testing some ideas. The clean guitar intro riff was written by Saky Lina. Never finished. Fitting for a song inspired by the Silent Hill games, I suppose. Maybe we'll do more with it eventually.

Lost in the Fog

The Madness

Track 1 from the 2013 demo, Moribund

The Ashes of Dreams

Just messing around with new ideas, such as a new drum track, an alternate tuning, some improvised lead guitar ideas, and a bass track.

Purgatory In D

Soul Chasm is a one-man black/thrash metal project currently in Oregon, started in Nevada. While some of my work is extremely raw, I also enjoy using heavy symphonics here and there. Talented friends and fam who've worked/collaborated with me:
@devinrondeau - Purgatory, Freshly Resurrected
@minnesangmusic - Not Invited
@simonra - Sempiternal Torment
