The Scales of Hunger

By Crimson Requiem · Doom Metal

Slow symphonic doom metal with melancholic atmosphere Deep emotional female vocals, soft male whispers, sorrowful orchestral arrangements.

"The Scales of Hunger"is inspired by the Black Horseman of the Apocalypse.

As famine spreads across a dying world, kingdoms crumble, harvests fail, and hope is weighed against survival. Guided by the Black Rider and his ancient scales, the song tells a dark tale of desperation, sacrifice, and the slow collapse of civilization.

A haunting blend of symphonic doom metal, orchestral melancholy, and apocalyptic storytelling, *The Scales of Hunger* explores the terrifying silence that follows when hunger becomes stronger than faith, wealth, or power.
