Haunted by Finality
Back in 2008, Curded Eternity my former band called it a day. However, lead guitarist Shaun and I kept creating. I remember he sent me this demo called Angry Spider that just hooked me. It was full of ear worm riffs and just had this timeless feel to it. This song evolved into a new band called Shadow Self. The song was played by Shadow Self in every formation of the band until it's ending in 2010.
After Shaun’s passing in 2018, I promised to finish the music we started. With Finality, we brought some of his riffs to life on Technocracy — and now, his final song has been completed, staying true to his original 2009 vision he had when we we're in Shadow Self.
Huge thanks to Dick Ward (Cursed Eternity Keyboardist) and the Finality crew for helping this come full circle. This release honors Shaun and everything we built together.

Lyrics
Haunted by demons and gods
Suffer through death, infernal
Haunted by demons and gods
Emerge reborn eternal
We know we live and then we die
Therefore apocalypse is always nigh
To be saved can we be brave and sacrifice today?
Behold the adventure of your life awaits right now
Face your fear right now
Know and beware the serpent devours the soul
Gaze into the dark once more”
Haunted by demons and gods
Suffer through death, infernal
Haunted by demons and gods
Emerge reborn eternal
The narcissist, materialist, the arrogance bathed in infantile bliss
The nihilist, the hedonist, the atheist worshiping his own goddess
Remember when you stepped outside
Deep down your higher being came alive
Overcome adversity, adopt responsibility
Forgo narrow whims of the moment right now… let go
Face your fear right now
Know and beware the serpent devours the soul
Gaze into the dark once more”
“Devolve into the desert, each grain of sand a lie”
“Ascend the tallest mountain, then return revived… be reborn”
