Official Statement:
Finally! After 12 long years since the band's last single and 17 years since the last album, Elegeion have re-surfaced from the depths to announce their third full length album "Plight of the Heretic".
Written over the course of a decade and recorded, mixed and mastered over 14 grueling months from November 2020 to January 2022, pausing at length through the many lockdowns throughout the pandemic, the pain, angst and despair of the times truly came through on the album.
It comprises five tracks totaling almost 50 minutes of the gothic / black / doom metal that you have come to expect from Elegeion, with new members and new ideas added, whilst still firmly attached to the old formula using strings and beautiful female vocals.
"We're so proud of this achievement", says frontman and guitarist Anthony Kwan "especially after being in suspended animation for so long, I hope you will see that the Elegeion flame is still well and truly alive".

Lyrics:

Face, face the world you seek to own
And the ones you must dethrone
For their game is no longer the way
No way to go home

They, they break the lines and force divide
Try to push against the tide
Of our time
With pale might, their death knell
The war cry of our time

I can’t breathe
Unchain me

Set
Me
Free

Unchain
Me!

Your bent has shaped me
Now it torments me
Ropes that bind me
Used to enslave me

How can I break free
Now they’re part of me
Symbiotically
Fused into my skin
How can i break free?
How can i break free?

Your world eclipses
You can’t see me
Nor will you hear me
Just blindly control me

I want an ending
Words heard within me
Escape is futile
But still I do try

Still I must try
To get outside

The dismal day
And the sombre sky
I watch the rain
As the days go by

Oh placid rain
Beautiful twilight
Cast a shadow upon me
As I walk into the night
