- Void Dominion - The Last Epigone | Epic Melodic Death Metal Lyric Video 🔥
Hi everyone!
Wow, this one took ages to create!
The song itself took three months from start to finish, and the lyric video added another month of work-but it’s finally done, and I’m beyond excited to share it with you!
This is by far the most complex and ambitious track I’ve created. It’s a progressive piece with plenty of tempo and time signature changes, a mix of clean and growling vocals, clean and distorted guitars, lush keyboards, and intricate arrangements. The lyrics tell the story of a man trying to emulate the greatest artists, only to face failure and fall into obscurity.
I genuinely believe this is my best work to date, and I’m incredibly proud of it.
I also created this lyric video myself-my first attempt at such a project-and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. I’d love for you to give it a watch, listen to the track, and let me know your thoughts in the comments. If you enjoy it, leaving a like and comment would mean the world to me and help tremendously!
Special shout-out to @resington for his incredible videos on home metal production-I’ve learned so much from him-and to @Bogren.Digital for their amazing plugins, many of which were used in this track.
Cheers and thanks for your support!

Lyrics:
In shadows cast by gilded hands,
I raise my brush, I strike my strings,
The echoes bloom where titans stand,
Yet hollow still, my offering sings.
Fragments of their blinding light,
Scatter in my trembling grasp,
A ghostly muse, a waning guide,
Through fleeting dreams, I clutch, I gasp.
Colours bled from borrowed veins,
No birthright shapes these hues of grey.
Stolen voices choke my strains,
Artless mirrors lead astray.
Each stroke betrays the breath of life,
Each chord a mimic's mournful dirge.
The crown I sought becomes a knife,
The depths of greatness I submerge.
Behold the pyre of failed intent,
Where forgers toil in torment’s name.
A pale apprentice, his fire spent,
Burns in his envy, his craft, his shame.
What price to walk in the wake of gods?
A soul defaced, a heart undone.
To carve a path through endless odds,
And find the stars consume the sun.
Beneath the weight of borrowed dreams,
I see the truth-a hollow seam.
No art can bloom from stolen soil,
No passion forged through hollow toil.
The masters whisper in disdain,
A thousand years have left their mark.
I bleed their voices through my veins,
Yet drown alone in the consuming dark.
You cannot climb what was never yours!
The stairs collapse, the heavens scorn!
Splintered visions, fractured grace,
The artist dies, replaced by wraiths.
Unworthy hands of trembling clay,
Fail to mould the immortal's face.
Epigone! A shadow's curse!
Creation void, an endless thirst!
I scrape the marrow of my soul,
To forge what gods will not bestow!
But every strike, each desperate tear,
Leaves jagged wounds of despair!
The weight of stars devours my frame,
Their distant gleam, a mocking glare.
From hallowed heights to chasms wide,
A hollow voice calls down the void.
Creation’s breath, now turned to ash,
A sparkless flame, a shattered past.
The cosmos laughs, it knows my name-
A thief of fire, laid bare.
No muse, no art, no guiding thread,
The mirror shatters, the dream lies dead.
Splintered visions, fractured grace,
The artist dies, replaced by wraiths.
Unworthy hands of trembling clay,
Fail to mold the immortal's face.
Epigone! A shadow's curse!
Creation void, an endless thirst!
You wear the crown of empty kings,
But birth no light, no life to bring!
The gallery is silent now,
No voices left to fill the halls.
The echoes die-no cheers, no vow,
The canvas rots, the idol falls.
I was the final, fragile thread,
A silhouette against the stone.
They wrote their names; mine stands unread-
The last epigone, forever alone.
Absolutely haunting. The blend of melodic death metal and progressive elements captures the struggle of trying to reach greatness, only to fall into oblivion. The lyrics hit hard-it's like watching an artist's ambition fade into the shadows of history. Brilliant execution from start to finish.

🔥 Absolute BEAST of a track! 🔥 This is what true independent metal mastery sounds like-every riff, every lyric, every scream, all forged by your own hands. The passion, the aggression, and the raw energy in this is undeniable. 🤘⚡
You’re proving that you don’t need a major label to craft face-melting, bone-crushing metal-you just need dedication, talent, and a relentless fire to create. This is the kind of track that deserves to be blasted at full volume, shaking the walls and waking the dead. 🤟🔥
To anyone stumbling upon this: DON’T SLEEP ON THIS ARTIST! Independent musicians like this pour their blood, sweat, and soul into their craft-drop a like, comment, and share to support real metal! 🤘🎸
#MetalAsItShouldBe #IndependentMetal #NextBigThing🤯

Massive thanks for the support and for spreading the word about independent metal! Crank it loud and keep the horns high! 🤟⚡🔥 #MetalUnited
Did you use a hardware synth or just software?
@@BlueSkiesBlackDeath I used my Yamaha PSR-E373 as a MIDI keyboard to record the MIDI, but Vital is the synth that is actually playing. Cheers!
Great song, but vocals should be louder🤘
@@normpoc1462 thanks for the feedback!
