As for now the band has released two full-length albums, expanding their musical borders from early atmospheric post-hardcore and post-rock riffs to later melancholic multi-layered metal songs, yet maintaining unusual style with rich instrumental part and powerful, aggressive vocals.
After three years since the release of the first album entitled «Our Own Prisons» (Dominance Records, Self-Released) and many shows and hard studio work, Challenger Deep has released it’s space album «Irreversible» in April 2014 on independent label «TRVS Records». Putting huge conceptual efforts, it took almost 2 years to complete and represent the picture of a melancholic face of destructive human activity, which destroys each piece of light on it's way.
Challenger Deep is an uncommercial band, which is always open to all people without racial, sexual (and etc.) prejudices.
The band is currently working hard on new material for the upcoming album and planning to go an European tour in Autumn 2015.

Challenger Deep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I do not want to think about
The time lost in the world progress
About the rivers full of deadly poison
And corpses of birds
When the darkest stars
Will see blood...
Will seem like perfection
Hold me
I can't wash the taste of ashes from your lips
But I still want to hold you
When the darkest stars
Will see blood...
Will seem like perfection
Then we will find the source of our devotion.
Walking on burning ground
Covered with disfigured dawn
I will show you the most forlorn place in the world
It's time to trade those tears for tranquillity
When memories is all I have
And it is what I'll lose for ever.
Come with me
We will catch the embers
Of feeble trees.
Come with me
Stepping through the void
In search for a sorrow
When memories is all I have
And it is what I'll lose for ever.
Stay with me
I will show you our destiny.
The fiery sphere burns down everything
I have never seen so much grace
When We will burn together
Your will see my serenity
When memories is all I have
And it is what I'll lose for ever
Just close your eyes and take my hand
Stay with me
You are my solace.
Walking on burning ground
Covered with disfigured dawn
Stay with me
You are my solace.
The lyrics of Challenger Deep's song Solace depict a sense of urgency and fear of losing everything amidst the darkness of the environment. The opening lines speak about the singer holding someone tightly in their arms while ignoring the time progressing in the world and the destruction that is happening all around them. The rivers are poisoned, and the corpses of birds are scattered, creating a dark and dismal setting. The lyrics of the song seemingly explore a connection between two people in that time of chaos as they hold on to each other as a sense of solace.
The chorus "When the darkest stars will seem like perfection, then we will break into dawn" portrays the sense of hope and positivity amidst the darkness. The singer invites the listener to walk with them on the burning ground, a place where the forlornness is at its peak. Involving delicate transitions between despair and hope, the song takes the listener on an emotional journey through its lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
I hold you tight in my arms.
I embrace you with all my might.
And I do not want to think about
I do not wish to ponder over
The time lost in the world progress
The time forfeited by mankind's development
About the rivers full of deadly poison
The rivers polluted with lethal chemicals
And corpses of birds
And the dead bodies of avian creatures
When the darkest stars
When the bleakest celestial objects
Will see blood...
Behold bloodshed...
Will seem like perfection
Will appear flawless
Then we will break into dawn.
Then the sun will rise.
Hold me
Embrace me
I can't wash the taste of ashes from your lips
I cannot erase the taste of ash from your mouth
But I still want to hold you
But I still desire to embrace you
When the darkest stars
When the gloomiest celestial bodies
Will see blood...
Will encounter bloodshed...
Will seem like perfection
Will appear ideal
Then we will find the source of our devotion.
Then we will discover the origin of our loyalty.
Walking on burning ground
Strolling on scorching terrain
Covered with disfigured dawn
Obscured by a disfigured daybreak
I will show you the most forlorn place in the world
I will display to you the most desolate spot on the planet
It's time to trade those tears for tranquillity
It's time to exchange those tears for peace
When memories is all I have
When reminiscences are all I possess
And it is what I'll lose for ever.
And it is what I will forfeit forever.
Come with me
Accompany me
We will catch the embers
We shall seize the glowing cinders
Of feeble trees.
Of weakened trees.
Stepping through the void
Treading through the emptiness
In search for a sorrow
In pursuit of melancholy
Stay with me
Remain by my side
I will show you our destiny.
I will exhibit to you our fate.
The fiery sphere burns down everything
The blazing orb consumes everything
I have never seen so much grace
I have never observed such elegance
When We will burn together
When we will perish together
Your will see my serenity
You will witness my calmness
Just close your eyes and take my hand
Simply shut your eyes and seize my hand
Stay with me
Be with me
You are my solace.
You bring me comfort.
Walking on burning ground
Strolling on scorching terrain
Covered with disfigured dawn
Obscured by a disfigured daybreak
Stay with me
Remain by my side
You are my solace.
You bring me comfort.
