Bulldog11 This album is a great combination of atmosphere and black metal all in one. Yes there are a good amount of atmospheric black metal bands out there like Wolves in the Throne Room and Forteresse, but Archon finds a way to make his form of atmospheric black metal unique and stand out from the rest.

So, if you buy this album you wonโ€™t be disappointed! Favorite track: Moongrave.

Alone under a moonlit dome I loom, Trapped in a haze of forestry doom, I roam this cold and superstitious domain, Reclaim myself in desolate terrain. A pilgrimage to the highest peak, Cold wind, cold cold soul beneath, These lands will soon return to my reign, Tonight it is my death I seek.. Follow the voices to your tragic death, Heir to the throne hold your breath, In the shadows, your kingdom awaits, I leave it to you, my son..

Moongrave 07:26
As I roam where my spirit desires, Faint visions of unearthly demons transpire, Now what will you become? When you are king my son? Please, let go.. Just, let me go.. Reign eternal, king of the night domain, Rest away in your moongrave. Shadowy creatures before my sight, On this cold dark night, They're drawing closer to escape the moonlight, I'm consumed with fear, is my end here?
3.
Feral Spirit 04:39
In nature's splendor, I am reminded of a simple time, Where no bounds of law, limit this paradigm.. So breathe in the air, and and let go of your mortal despair. Now as one I become, One with the feral lands.. (The one with the feral heart) In nature's glory, I find myself to be at peace, Now as one I become this feral spirit.. And so long to desire, as I let go of past yearnings, I close my eyes, this serenity holds me close. Now as one I become, One with the feral lands.. (The one with the feral heart)

Nighthaven 05:13
When the night falls, A new serenity awaits. Like magic it calls, It's the creation of fates. In my last breath,I saw my haven, Lead me astray, to my domain, You were the light, in my nightworld. In night's hands I fade away, Lost touch with what's around me, The whole world is cold and gray.
6.
Farewell to sanity, As embers burn like vanity, I lose touch with my humanity.. Darkness, come! Linger beside me my friend, And you'll see my tragic end, All you are in my head - imagination. Sometimes I feel you aren't real, Just a reality I've always known, A distant memory I feel you there, But when it fades away it all goes black. Now I live with fear of when you'll be back, Cursed forever, I cannot bare...
7.
Along this path, I walk in silence, Trapped inside my mind, When you appeared, My world felt timeless.. Serenity take me away, Become my shadow remedy. With a last breath, Memories will fade to past, Together on this broken path, When I disappeared, Your world felt timeless. Serenity take me away, Become my shadow remedy.
8.
With an icy touch, snow falls like ash, Coating a pale white dust upon the ground, Now here comes the thrill of winter at last. The night freezes over, as snow falls... With a feral heart, I can feel the serenity, Casting light upon my shadow silently.. It is now your time to rise my king, We will haunt these lands forever...
9.
There was a time of life of desire, But in my darkest hour, The sound of solitude transpired, Into my mind adrift in time. Hear me now, this is my final breath, In the darkness I found my death, Now I rest, rest eternally. Before you now I rule under oath, Forbid you from entering again, Oh, darkness within I inherit your curse, Upon my throne in night's silent mind.. Hear me now, this is my final breath, In the darkness I found my death, Now I rest, I rest eternally.
10.
Last Breath 04:44
Through the snowy grounds beyond, I see through worlds of serenity. Far beyond I lay frozen in dismay, In these icy lands I take my last breath. In spirit I live on, from times long gone, King of the night domain, Live on with memory of your shadowy disdain. Far beyond I lay frozen in dismay, In these icy lands I take my last breath.

about

Highborne's fourth full-length record and the follow-up to 2017's Visions of Retribution.

Production took place between May 2018 and January 2019.

Inheritor is a rebirth of the sound of Highborne giving it a more ambient/atmospheric sound first experimented on Visions of Retribution. Archon abandons the typical idea of what a Highborne record is and gives something new. Inheritor is inspired by doom-like atmospheres, haunting forests at night, and the realm of the forest night overall.

It is a concept album, about realization/forgiveness. -
Through the journey of life and upon realizing the demons that have always been there you must accept the darkness and forgive and look to the future.

Wandering through nature with a sense of dread and impending death. However, through the trance of nature's surroundings you find yourself bound to the darkness. Then demons of the past haunt you revealing your darkest secrets, and causing havoc upon life through the form of depression. Through it all, you find yourself forgiving and gaining control over your demons once again, despite who it makes you.

Descent (2016) - Black Metal
The Dusk of Solitude (2017) - Blackened Death Metal
