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.

Return
Dusk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It is narrow and the air is damp
Smells of the dead spreads in the smothery air
I'm in a bin
I'm dead, smelling my reek
Deeply under the ground, far from the livings
We are dead in the world of the livings
We are dead, however we are awake
The red hot full moon
I take cognizance of my arrive
To the world of livings with a long screaming
My body is putrefaction, my soul is destruction
I flew down by a war chariot
From the sky of the black night
I hear the screaming of my brothers in my soul
We are here again to fulfill the whispers of our soul
My recollections remembers me to my frozen death in my blood
We left the life in each other's arms for perpetuity
We got each other's arms to eternity
For the riddance
The lyrics of Dusk's "Return" describe the experience of waking up in a dark, cold, and cramped place while being dead and smelling the stench of death. The singer realizes that they are buried deep underground, far from the living, but they are somehow still conscious. As they begin to dig themselves out of the bin, they see the red hot full moon and scream in recognition of their return to the world of the living.
The lyrics then take a mythical turn as the singer describes being flown down by a war chariot from the black night sky, and hearing the screams of their brothers in their soul. They are in the world of the living again to fulfill the whispers of their soul, and they remember their frozen death in their blood. The singer and their loved ones left the life in each other's arms for eternity, but they have returned to seek riddance.
The song's lyrics are open to interpretation and could be seen as a metaphor for rebirth, reincarnation, or the afterlife. The dark and claustrophobic setting of the beginning of the song could represent a state of limbo or purgatory, while the red hot full moon and the war chariot could symbolize a journey through different realms of existence. The references to frozen death and being buried underground could represent the end of a cycle of life and the beginning of a new one.
Line by Line Meaning
I woke up at a dark and cold place
Starting out in a dismal and freezing location
It is narrow and the air is damp
The space is constricted and the atmosphere is moist
Smells of the dead spreads in the smothery air
The scent of decay lingers in the stifling air
I'm in a bin
I find myself contained in a receptacle
I'm dead, smelling my reek
I am deceased, inhaling my own putrid odor
Deeply under the ground, far from the livings
Buried deep beneath the earth, far from the living
We are dead in the world of the livings
We exist as deceased individuals among the living
We are dead, however we are awake
Although we're deceased, we're still conscious
Digging myself I behold
As I dig, I observe
The red hot full moon
The fiery and brilliant full moon
I take cognizance of my arrive
I become aware of my arrival
To the world of livings with a long screaming
Into the living world, accompanied by a lengthy scream
My body is putrefaction, my soul is destruction
My corpse is decomposing, my spirit is crumbling
I flew down by a war chariot
I descended via a chariot of war
From the sky of the black night
From the darkness of the nighttime sky
I hear the screaming of my brothers in my soul
I sense the agony of my brothers within me
We are here again to fulfill the whispers of our soul
We have returned to fulfill the desires of our collective spirit
My recollections remembers me to my frozen death in my blood
My memories remind me of my frigid demise and bloodshed
We left the life in each other's arms for perpetuity
Together, we departed from life for eternity
We got each other's arms to eternity
We have each other forever in death
For the riddance
For the release from suffering
