Heavy conceptual album lyrics — looking for musicians (doom / prog / cosmic metal)

Battle Vest

Heavy conceptual album lyrics — looking for musicians (doom / prog / cosmic metal) A conceptual heavy metal album at the edge of doom and transcendence — where the world falls apart, but the spirit still chooses to fly.

This album explores the collapse of a decaying civilization and the inner war of a dreamer who refuses to surrender to cynicism, corruption, and entropy. Each track reflects a different psychological threshold — fear, doubt, rage, revelation, defiance — until the final Countdown, where transcendence becomes possible even while the world is burning.

Sample lines (from different tracks):

“Our days roll on,

People's lives fly by,

The sky turns stone

By common high lies…”

and

“Each simple thought sounds divine:

<...>

Don't feed the monsters in your mind!”

Example for Countdown:

Music concept notes (tech):

• first eight lines written in 6/8 (e.g. B major)

• transition through guitar riff → shift into 4/4 and C major

• pivot chord functions in both tonal centers simultaneously

• syllabic lyric rhythmic pattern remains constant

• rhythm guitar keeps a 2–3 chord core progression across the entire composition

I’m looking for musicians who’d want to collaborate: guitar / synth / bass / vocals / drums / sound design / composition.

Full lyrics PDF (6 tracks) available — DM me. I’ll send the link.

This is not commercial yet — this is art-first.

Album working title: “The Walking Dead” (6 tracks)
