Shadows grow over your own A bitter chill descends, are you sure you are alone? Such rage, it can defy the grave Don't tread on me, for you it's too late to step lightly Now you're hellbound, guilty (fool me once) Hellbound and guilty (take my pride but never twice) You are the key, malice unlocked from the cage I'm going to... I'm going to haunt you when I die And I will watch you, watch you cry No sooner than I've closed my eyes My spirit will begin to rise And this a promise I will keep Malicious target on your back Hunted by something in black Too late to regret your misdeed I'm going to... I'm going to haunt you when I die As you sleep I reach out for thee knife in my back Now you're hellbound, guilty (fool me once) Hellbound and guilty (take my pride but never twice) You are the key, malice unlocked from the cage I'm going to... I'm going to haunt you when I die And I will watch you, watch you cry

Spleen 08:20
What is the measure of a man bent down? An eye for an eye Drunk far beyond the point of blind Broken bottles decorate the wall The lesson learned One more soul to burn The spirits are circling me tonight Anaesthetic pool Reflecting back what I despise As you arrive I'm no longer here Into my head Completely disappeared It's gone on too long Up from the grave, rising from the bed that I have made Liver heals the pain but the spleen is where the penance is paid Another final breath With you by my side I can feel like I’ve really died Blood and red wine, my spirit on fire We take to the lawless night Ten tons of man, a skull in my hand It's witching hour, you know it's too late She's a curse in a dress, a poison temptress I won't get away tonight My mind is long gone, I cannot go on But misfortune, it favours the slave Down the wrong paths Chasing too fast Memories won't fade Endlessly played out It's gone on too long So long Up from the grave, rising from the bed that I have made Liver heals the pain but the spleen is where the penance is paid Yeah another final breath With you by my side I can feel like I’ve really died

This Winter, Orphans of Dusk opens their goth-doom gasket again, coming back to life to present “Spleen,” their haunting new album. Spreading its vice over 8 songs, “Spleen’s full length duration enables the band, over the course of 50 minutes, to bring listeners further into their sublime dark universe, pushing further all facets that gave its identity in the first place. “Spleen” picks up where “Revenant” left, immediately displaying a well produced record and melodies that will immediately find its place in many gothic and doom music libraries. On “Spleen,” Orphans of Dusk however chooses to focus less on the previous atmospheric death-doom elements, and more on the gothic vocals and guitar harmonies. As a result, “Spleen” hits like a stake through the heart – it is the band’s most mature offering to date, and one that should gather the world’s gothic-doom scene’s attention.
