Lovelorn Behemoth (Marquis Smith )

"Lovelorn Behemoth" is about Ill fated attraction. As I listened to early Anathema I became inspired to come up with this piece. Here we see a man's descent into dangerous territory. Similar in tone with the "Songless Song" except instead of harming the love interest this character contemplate self inflicted harm. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Atmospheric rock, Progressive rock. Haunting progressive chords with depressing singing. Album that inspired this piece: Alternative 4.

"Just Once, My Love" details a person losing someone very dear to them and then sort of blaming God for their lose. Inspiration taken from My Dying Bride. No rhyme scheme here. Very mournful. MDB's "The Angel and the Dark River" was the album that inspired me the most to pen this. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Doom metal, gothic metal.
