Every instrument used in our music is real.
InfluencesThe constant, laconic suggestions of our subconscious. The ever bleak, damp landscape of endless Cascadian forests being nefariously whittled away by an inescapable capitalistic dominion.

"The sky and mind weep not in the same key alone, but on the same note; one a mere octave higher than the other. Who is to discern, though, which takes precedence? The mind comprehends, while sky has no need. So few will look up. Here, the world is cold." ..- C.B...

   About Skagos


Currently calling the Komoux Valley home on Coast Salish territory.

Cascadia
Tierced Per Fess Azule, Argent and Vert, Over All An Evergreen Proper



Skagos is fueled by humanity's failure. An interminable misanthropy pushes us further and further away from the revolting course of hollow communities and deeper into the vast, damp and multifarious reaches of our treasured Cascadian wilderness. If not a revolt of forlorn and woe, Skagos is an outlet of escape and freedom; a seething vat of discontent for immorality. Fantasies are sometimes adopted to prompt metaphor and the infinite strength of contemplation, and sometimes the point will be direct and sharp.
Skagos meant "stone" in the old tongue. The Skagosi named themselves the stoneborn, but their fellow northmen called them Skaggs and likes them little. Only a hundred years ago Skagos had risen in rebellion. Their volt had taken years to quell and claimed the life of the Lord of Winterfell and hundreds of his sworn swords. Some songs said the Skaggs were cannibals; supposedly their warriors ate the hearts and livers of the men they slew. In ancient days, the Skagosi had sailed to the nearby island of Skane, seized its women, slaughtered its men, and ate them on a pebbled beach in a feast that lasted for a fortnight. Skane remained unpeopled to this day.

-George R. R. Martin

PS: isn't "Valar morghules" a phrase used in George Martins books "A song of ice and fire"? Great stuff, too, by the way.

Hey Ray, what's going on?
We've recently incorporated a drummer into Endless Journey and the music has been evolving as well.
I'd say it's something along the lines of Atmospheric Blackened Funeral Doom hahaha.
I got some intense funeral marches in some new stuff I'm working on.
And as the amount of nihilists in the band rises. We've considered changing the name to "Vessel I".
What do you think?

Hey man, how are things?? I was wondering if you have yet received the tapes I sent you. Not quite sure how long it would take getting through customs and all that. Let me know if they arrived safely and such.
