On August 11, 2021, I officially released When Eternity Ends by Chaos Temple via my vanity imprint Omnifice Productions. I have previously released three demos, two EPs, and three singles, and recognize this initial full-length debut as a harbinger of larger and amazing things to come, particularly musically. The album is inherently a metal album, but takes strange detours throughout, and does not stay content with meandering around one or two styles. If you ever know of the phrase "a tale of two halves", this would most greatly apply here.
While I had not had the album thought of in the context and actualization of which it became this whole time, what I will say is that I first recorded any given part of this album over 10 years ago, in November 2010. I was still living in my childhood home back then, and had guitar parts recorded that I would save for later. This song turned into "Cast Down Into Ignominy". Another song I had an at least vague idea of as far back as 2007 or so, but I had not gone around to recording it until semi-recently. Had I recorded it back then, it would have more likely been a straightforward old school death metal song. But, with the addition of keyboard and a galloping beat, and an almost surf-like attitude, the song "Zombiembryo" arose. The album has eight tracks, taking the listener through a journey of multiple realms, culminating with an epic ballad track titled "Candlelight Vigilante", a song telling a story of a vigilante woman who victors over the treachery and grotesqueries of a most evil man. this song, which clocked in at 17 minutes, 36 seconds, was a complex enough song to feel like its own album; it was, by a wide margin, the last song completed of all eight.
The album is a great stepping stone into the abyss, for it places the listener on a sonic journey into multiple realms, while itself being the harbinger of a greater one yet to come. Be you in the land of multi-generational zombies, an expiring universal void atop the plank stairs, or in the frosted mountains left behind by a vandal of biographies whom you once thought a dear friend; there is always a choice to either be a soulless creature or be amazing. There is no taking back your decision, because life will hasten forward quickly, even if the ruined society may not.
