----------------------
HOLY CRAP THIS TOOK SO LONG. this track was made all the way back in January. it was originally going to be a single to start the year, as i worked on  the track, the track itself felt incomplete. not in the mixing or arrangement way, but creatively incomplete. the track didn't have a meaning applied to it. i realized most of my singles in the past have sounded like a compressed album without a clear direction or purpose, and the albums I've made before didn't have a real narrative or overarching theme to them. with that, the idea for an album was birthed, originally going to be a 4 song ep turning into a 4 part 15 song album. i was mainly inspired by multiple notes i have written down back in 8th grade and used it as inspiration for not only this track but the  entire album
i have put 130 hours on this track in total and I'm glad it can finally be heard for everyone

I want to say thanks to https://soundcloud.com/shymaster101 and https://soundcloud.com/pastayay for vocal samples I used in certain sections of the track

thanks for everyone who has been supporting, listening, and sharing the album since it has started. it has been my biggest project so far and i am excited for the second half of the album.

happy new years and merry christmas

Return to Elysium

Empyrean

Empyrean [Return to Elysium LP]

All of existence originated from somewhere, but from where? An eternal void of darkness or a selfish creator?

Genesis

Genesis [Return to Elysium LP]

0:00 - Khaos
Before time began, the void was everything
The primordial void watching ever since time was simply an idea
Only chaos, dissonance, anarchy.
Destruction was reign. Nothingness was reign,
1:56 - Kreation
In the deepest pits of the void, a light flying through the darkness
The light shinning brighter than the void shines darkness
The creator uttered a word, grasping the light;
Let there be Light...

Khaos And Kreation

Khaos And Kreation [Return to Elysium LP]

As the universe perfected its infinite form, so did the dominion of all concepts,
The children of the stars were looking at the newborn sky of cosmic proportions. 
The Hyperion sky, the mother of all life, born from the stellar dust from creation, called herself "Gaia, Mother of all Life", giving birth to all life across her primordial terran shell as lunar Selene watches over her mother.
Across thousands of eons, life prospered in their mother's womb...

Birth of Gaia

Birth Of Gaia [Return to Elysium LP]

Life prospered for thousands of years, with everlasting peace and love among all life.
Humanity's eternal love for their mother. No hatred, no fear
But jealous Darkness thought otherwise
Sending their warnings across Creation
Darkness has arrived, Who can stop them now?

Shattered Arrival [Return to Elysium LP]

Throughout the seas of time, legends have spoken of a primordial prophecy. A prophecy dating back to the beginning times.
"When humanity forms a perfect union, a savior will arise from the ashes to defeat the darkness"

Foretold Prophecy

Foretold Prophecy [Return to Elysium LP]

Light has brought upon a savior, a prophecy to grant glory and reign to the light across the cosmos. 
The birth of a god, the foretold paradisian god to bring peace from the eons of darkness...
Should it shatter the heavens from Khaos' malicious reach, or should the heavens return to something... greater?

------------------

3 years ago I created the original version of "Creation of God" during Covid.
It was my time using BBC Orchestra Discover and I created a dubstep track with the orchestra. I was proud of it for a long time as it was one of my favorite self made melodies I have done. But as my mixing skills have increased, I formed a dislike of some mistakes I did within the track and have been waiting for the correct time to give the track justice.
So for my 15 song album, I decided to remake it with my current skills and style to create a version of the track that still stays true to the original while becoming its own separate thing.

Because of how long it took me to finally make a version of this track, I'd highly appreciate if you would show my support by sharing this track. If you also want to support me financially, you can do that here:

Creation of God (VIP)

Creation Of God (VIP) [Return to Elysium LP]

The ashes of the void ruptured across creation,
chaos arose from paradise,
Look what they have done to you;
broken, shattered, a merciful death,
Who will save you now? Who will?

Paradise Lost [Return to Elysium LP]

Fallen from the Empyrean, within the rubble of the heavens
Malicious Darkness, his hand looming over the souls damaged from Khaos' sudden attack
"Protect the Empyrean, at all costs"
Where's our savior?
'Let the Rapture Commence'

Rampage

Rampage [Return To Elysium LP]

Raptured from the divine, surviving the chaos
Anarchy, but a sense of sympathy?
That doesn't sound right, we're divinity, right?
We can't turn into them, devoid of holiness, losing our divinity
Hmm.... sounds rather........ apocalyptic

Raptured Prophecy [Return to Elysium LP]

The earth split in two, with seven thunderous lightning strikes 
Emerged out the seven seals
Her corpse lingered to the last bits of life as Selene and Helios turned into one
An Archaic Eclipse

The Prohibited Apostle of Darkness slaughtered Hyperion
Khaos, the rapture himself, the summoning of four unholiest of beings

Oh Lightbringer, Devoid of light
Who will save you now?
The Foretold Prophecy, the Morningstar

prophetic savior of humanity, why shalt you turn against your father?

Apocalipsis [Return to Elysium LP]

the ashes of the void ruptured against the forces of Elysium;
whose empyrean fell at the sight of Khaos

the endless, the eternal, whose grace has been raptured from your soul
the revelations have been sealed, all hopes and dreams will be locked away

engage, prepare, live; resurrect Gaia,
return to Elysium

from the bottom of my heart, i want to thank all the people that have supported me throughout this journey through Elysium
pouring hundreds of hours seems worth it as i know someone out there will enjoy listening whatever i make, even if its for a few seconds on repeat, or hours just to play it back from the beginning

when i first started this album 2 years and 3 months ago I had no idea how massive this project will be, my greatest musical achievement so far, with hundreds of hours staring at the daw and fine tweaking every little thing to my enjoyment, and my audience's enjoyment

school and life overall is starting to get a bit difficult to balance out as i'm pursuing a BA in computer science, and the harder the classes the less available time i have to be in the daw, and i do have to apologize on derailing and pushing back deadlines, pushing back Patreon, planning sample packs and tutorials; for the sake of my wellbeing and not pile a bunch of stuff in the span of a week just to release something i am not proud of

my online music presence isn't that active as i release either every month of every few months, so if you'd like to chat with me, my discord dms are always open @gzapplemusic
