about

The beginning of a journey. Optimism, naivety. The foolishness of a man unaware of their own limited, human perception of the world, hopelessly searching for the Empyrean - the true and ultimate heavenly paradise. What will come of the turnings of The Wheel?
Dare to step into the unknown with the first song of our trilogy and listen to the story unfold. Inspired by the mysticism of The Arcana, Dante’s Inferno and our own view of the human mind in relation with the universe, this series strives to tell a tale of tragedy, anger and self discovery.

lyrics

Source of light and creation
Empyrean filled with celestial matter
There is no pattern, there is no colour
Let there be revelation for that is my greatest desire

From wherever I am I call you
From stages of infinite time
It burns me from the inside out

As I kneel to the creator
Suddenly my thirst for wisdom
Is shattered by my lower nature

Nothing but willed illusion
Is the reward for the blind
A hostage to my mind
In this eternal delusion

So close without connection
I couldn't break the seal
I took it all upon me
And fell into the sea

Nothing but willed illusion
Is the reward for the blind
A hostage to my mind
In this eternal delusion

about

Zgripsorum Ploiești, Romania

Zgripsorum is a Romanian Melodic Death Metal band.

Fusing melodic and symphonic elements with the rawness of old school Death Metal, we create a beautifully chaotic new realm.
