The Hive Queen
Liner Notes
Part of ENTOMOLOGICON, my #Experimental #Progressive #Metal project exploring Insects and other bugs through sound sampling, exotic instruments, unusual time signatures, and atypical vocal styles.
This song draws focus to the matriarchs of eusocial colonies: The Gyne Caste, commonly called The Queen.
Lyrics
From the hive collapse shall come a queen of gold and black; she screams, A prisoner until she dies, and so collapse the hive.
The queen, a writhing mass of life- Insectoid sacrifice. She's born only to breed, So hail the damned queen.

I mean, heck, if it was pleasant I'd be pretty sure I did it wrong. :p
For better or worse, there's more where this came from lol.

Great gothic metal vibes coming off this - terrific opening riff, super drumming. Vocals are really powerful with some hints of screamy vocals bringing an extra edge. Queen’s are pretty relentless creatures so this is rather fitting I think. Great start looking forward to more

Brutal dark heavy snarling sounds bringing a very different perspective to… bees? Interesting project!

I want to use the word "unpleasant" as high praise... is that ok? I love it when metal gets twisted into new realms, when it gets under your skin, when it becomes deeply unnerving. Its why I'm such a fan of Axis of Perdition and Anaal Nathrakh.
