These desperate times calls for desperate measures
My desperate mind seeks desperate pleasures
I cover up all this shame
Then erupt with all this pain and

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

Blinding lights blinds my eyes
Is it heaven judging my lies?
It's God's thumb pushing down
Putting me out in the ground

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

The more I bleed
The more I share
No one listens
And I don't care

This life is paralyzing
This life is paralyzing
And no one's here
I'm all alone and
This life is paralyzing me

This Life Is Paralyzing - The Shadows In Between

„a style of Doom blending from destructive energy to a own creative dominance“

Epic Down is a duo from Leipzig, Germany dedicated to the sluggish grooves and lumbering riffs of sludge & doom, started in 2021 by Mitzschi (guitar(s)/bass) and Fabian (drums/vocals).
Influenced by primal doom, drone and stoner, the sound of Epic Down is mainly characterized by solid downtempo grooves and rolling walls of guitars, complemented by slightly melancholic vocals.

With the release of their first EP "Equinox Pt1" and it’s sequel "Equinox Pt2" in 2023, the band stepped into the light of publicity.
After signing to Argonauta Records the band was able to celebrate the release of „days of oblivion“ as their debut album in fall 2024.

My name is Michael Shannon.  This page is to share 
my music.

I write, record and produce all of my own music.  I've been creating music ever since I picked up a guitar at age 16.  I admire musicians who constantly push themselves out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to be better artists.  This page will document my attempts to grow as an artist.  Hope you enjoy the music.
