MAESTITIUM beschreiben sich sich selbst als Epic Melodic Death Metal, wobei das Wörtchen orchestral eindeutig fehlt. Zumindest wenn der heute veröffentlichte Track `Throne of Shadows` typisch für den derzeitigen Sound des einzigen festen Mitglieds Elias Westrin ist. Für diese Single hat sich der Schwede rund vier Jahre Zeit gelassen, denn die letzte “Tale of the Endless” EP datiert aus 2021. Ziemlich frei nach dem Motto:
Was lange währt …

Lyrics:
Faded from the grace of an innocent dawn
Torn asunder by shadows festering deep within
One by one the shadows settled in his wicked mind
A man once loved by the ones who held his name
Promised power by forces from beyond the stars
Lead him wandering toward death’s eternal embrace
Saviour turned into martyr
Forever bound to the groves of death
“Here he shall lie
In the depths of his darkest thoughts
Lost within the cries
That will haunt him forevermore”
Ruling upon a throne sculpted by his own demise
One with the shadows whispering deep within
His father’s cries echoing within the tormented halls
Entreating still to end this curse that binds him in thrall
Within this anguished existence
The flickering flame, now faded into oblivion
With his world enshrouded in woe
A tear beyond the veil
The emancipation of words unsaid
Shall he rise or fall forgotten,
In the words of endless woe?
Cradled by ceaseless torment
Yet they call forevermore
Forevermore
With his world enshrouded in woe
A tear beyond the veil
The emancipation of words unsaid
Shall he rise or fall forgotten,
In the words of endless woe?
Cradled by ceaseless torment
Yet they call forevermore
Forevermore
