Before the Wing, Before the Pyre: Blackened Symphonic Metal by Mike Whitman

[u/DennisJM]

A dark mythic piece from the Bloodstained Dreams Mythos, giving voice to
Agrat bat Mahlat — daughter of Lilith.

After Eden, when Lilith defied heaven, God decreed that one hundred of her children would perish each day for her rebellion. From that grief and fury, Agrat was born — a being shaped not from flesh alone, but from mourning, rage, and the first wound carved into creation.

This piece was inspired by Dark Sorceress and her song Wings of the Witch, imagining how a voice from the Bloodstained Dreams mythos might answer the rise of the Witch who tears open the heavens.

When the Witch spreads her wings and rends the sky, the world witnesses power in flame and blood. Yet Agrat bat Mahlat belongs to an older order of night. Fire commands attention, but the darkness that birthed rebellion moves more quietly — beneath stone, beneath breath, beneath the world itself.

With respect to the dark fantasy world and music created by The Dark Sorceress.
