Trisagion is out now: https://etherealshroud.bandcamp.com/album/trisagion
Today I’ll share the last of the pieces commissioned for Ethereal Shroud’s new album Trisagion.
Another piece to the “The Lost Years” ink series, still on-going, and unlike the other has a clear starting point, but interpretation was left to me.
The third and final song off the album it’s mournful and crushing, and ye hopeful throughout. It deeps in doom territory (always a favorite for me) and closes out the album perfectly.
As stated above, the album is out! And you can hear and purchase it here: https://etherealshroud.bandcamp.com/album/trisagion
This piece is a wake of an unseen prow, the ripples echoing back into each other, but revealing the darkness, rather than obscuring it. As such, it’s a more abstract than the others, repeating but inverting the triangle shape of trisagion.

It’s Release day! Trisagion is out: https://etherealshroud.bandcamp.com/album/trisagion
Today I’ll share this piece, the second of three I created for Ethereal Shroud’s new album Trisagion.
This one was also a part of “The Lost Years” ink series, still on-going, and like the other was created with some general direction from the band, and after hearing an early demo.
The First song off the album it’s bold aggressive and dealing with the all consuming-fires of hatred. It’s both the first demo I heard while working on these, and the longest track on the album at a whopping 27 minutes.
As stated above, the album was released today, and you can hear and purchase it here: https://etherealshroud.bandcamp.com/album/trisagion
For me this piece was about despair, and horror with the world around us continuing to drift in the wrong direction - something that still seems to happen faster every day. There’s a lot of fury and anguish in the song, and yet passages of hope weave in and out. A monument to folly seemed like the best piece to accompany the song - a dread idol we hope to see crumble away.
