1) American death/doom band. I… Read Full Bio ↴There are 17 artists with this name:
1) American death/doom band. In the beginning the gods of doom created Dusk. And Dusk was waste and void; and darkness was upon its face of deep: and the Spirit of the gods of Doom moved upon the music of Dusk and the gods of doom said, Let there be '… Majestic Thou in Ruin': and there was Ruin.
And the gods of Doom heard the album, and they knew that it was good: and the gods divided the light from the darkness. And the gods of Doom called the light popmusic, and the darkness they called Dusk. And the gods of Doom said: "Let Dusk bring forth the most heavy and depressing death/doom of their kind": and it was so. And the gods of Doom saw that it was good.
And the gods said: "Let Dusk have dominion over the most depressive of sounds, and over the most heavy of sounds, and over all beings that wallow in self-pity", and it was so.
And then the gods of Doom grew tired and took it all away, for was to be no more, '…Majestic Thou in Ruin' being but a (old) testament for future bands to look to in wonder and amazement."
The "Dusk" EP and their full-lenght "...Majestic Tou In Ruin" were released an compilation album by Lost Disciple Records, title "Mourning...Resurrect". Their full-length album "...Majestic Thou in Ruin" is a classic of it's genre, even though Dusk could never reach a big audience. Some of the members formed Aphotic after the split-up of Dusk, but they suffered the same dilemma and split-up after the release of a couple EP's. Last release was a split album between the two bands, recorded in 2005 "To Find New Darkness / The Slumber"

2) A Detroit-based alternative/shoe-gaze band from the 90's. Led by record afficionado Marty Klotz, they were a mainstay in the Detroit scene, opening for touring acts including Curve, James and Medicine. Drummer Todd Cochran and guitarist Josh Sparbeck fashioned a style that was reminiscent of early Gang of Four, Mission of Burma and Television. Their last show was played, opening for James, in front of their largest crowd and seemingly at the point that they were drawing the most attention.
3) A french alternative/progressive rock band. They have not yet released any album or EP, and the only available material is their old instrumental demos on their Myspace page. This english-singing band is influenced by the song structures and the sound of Muse, the singing of Foo Fighters, the brutal energy of Deftones and the melodic parts of Mogwai.

Ashes
Dusk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bleed.
My sorrow so hollow.
In the dusk of eternity where agony
Like fire flows in veins.
There in heart lies a secret that beckons.
All the tears I cried that made me see
In my dungeons I keep the bliss. The bliss...
Locked in chains by the glorious and notorious
In shadows how I crawl.
Now I try, search the reason to live here.
All the years that died couldn't make me see
That mind is fooled by fear.
In the ashes I crawl again.
Not free.
In the ashes I crawl again.
Curse.
I bleed.
My sorrow so hollow.
I feel inside, with pure power I will rise again.
Make me believe.
The words that you give to me.
All lies I can see and you fade away.
Growing strength from my hatred gives
And with passion thrills,
Determined oath to reign.
When I rise up from ashes to haunt you.
All the years that died, my hate denied,
Now I will give the flame...
From the ashes I rise again.
Now free.
I will never remain the same.
Curse.
I bleed.
My sorrow so hollow.
I feel inside, with pure power I will rise again.
Make me believe.
The words that you give to me.
All lies I can see and you fade away.
I can see the truth of life. - Make me believe.
Deep inside there lies a vision. - The words that you give to me.
Now I'm free my dreams complete.
Ashes are dust, eternally.
The lyrics of Dusk's song "Ashes" express deep pain and sorrow, but also a determination to rise above it all. The singer is feeling cursed and bleeding, and their sorrow is so profound it feels like a hollow emptiness. The imagery suggests that the singer is in a desolate, twilight world where agony flows like fire in their veins. Despite all of this, there's a secret beckoning from the heart, one that can only be discovered by shedding tears and realizing that life is not endless. But in the singer's dungeons, they keep the bliss locked away in chains, crawling in shadows until they find a reason to live here.
The second verse talks about growing strength from hatred and passion that gives way to a determined oath to reign. The singer will rise up from ashes to haunt their oppressor, denying the hate that died and giving it new life with flame. The final verse suggests that the singer has come out the other side, seeing the truth of life and completing their dreams. The ashes that they once crawled in are now dust, and the singer is eternally free. The song is an expression of tremendous pain, but also a powerful message of hope and determination.
