November

Desecration of Mankind - Legion of the shadow throne

Desecration of Mankind - The coming of Baphomet

Desecration of Mankind  - Symbols of the end of civilization

The music for this track came together as a spontaneous flow of emotion—jamming and improvising, with a last-minute piano addition in the chorus (and the Outro) to shift the mood.
The lyrics crystallized during a dark period marked by overwhelming emptiness and relentless despair.
While Undying captures the struggle to find oneself, In Bottomless Descent portrays the harrowing experience of losing that grip—falling endlessly into an abyss of anger, silence, and existential dread.

There’s a point where the mask breaks…
Where emptiness is not absence, but a living thing —
gnawing, whispering, screaming.
You keep falling, and the ground never comes.

The journey continues downward, into a place where escape feels impossible.

In Bottomless Descent

The album reaches its darkest climax here. Mental chaos erupts as suppressed "demons" awaken, shattering apathy with rage and despair. The black veil that descends symbolizes suffocating helplessness and torment. The final lyrics embody ultimate condemnation and isolation.

Following the desperate cry of Deliverance, As The Night Falls confronts the full intensity of inner darkness, pushing you to the brink.
Next, the closing instrumental hints at what might come after—or if there is even an after.

When the sun sets,
the mind opens its gates.
Every demon steps through,
and the night lasts longer than the day ever did.

This one ultimately gained the alternate title "Dagsetr" as it embodies the metaphor of the album title. The end of light and the darkness creeping in to throw you into a mental abyss of despair.

More influences by black metal elements all over the verses and choruses and I think the bridge-outro part came out somehow a bit more post.
But that's how I jammed the whole album.

Humanity is evil

The Ergot is the solo project of an independent musician who has chosen the most honest and raw path of creation: composing, recording, and producing music guided solely by personal drive, without external pressure or commercial expectations.

Rooted in the haunting atmospheres of northern melodic death metal, The Ergot draws inspiration from bands like Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, and Before the Dawn. It’s a soundscape where melancholy meets power — a blend of heavy riffs, immersive melodies, and emotional depth, evoking a kind of frozen introspection.

There are no labels, no formulas. This is music born from a primal need to give shape to emotions, visions, and inner soundscapes — often dark, always sincere. It’s a personal journey fueled by instinct and experimentation, far from algorithms and marketing logic.

No strategies, no forced promotion. Just music. Raw, honest, and free.
