A DREAM OF POE
Katabasis - A Marriage Among Ashes

Musically, A Dream of Poe blends the weight and melancholy of doom metal with rich orchestral arrangements and literary inspiration.  Live performances are rare, but when they occur they are conceived as true celebrations of Doom Metal.

Recently the project enters its most focused and mature creative phase, redefining its symphonic doom identity through loss, resilience, and monumental orchestration - where “descent itself becomes the act of creation.”

'Katabasis: A Marriage Among Ashes' is an album born from descent, both lived and imagined.  In very real terms, it emerged from a personal catastrophe. A devastating fire erased a home, a life and memories built within previously safe walls, and nearly all of the music written for this record.  From the ashes, only one song survived: The Lament of Phaethon. Everything else had to be rebuilt from nothing: instruments, ideas, songs, and identity.  This forced rebirth shaped not only the sound of the album, but the very reason for its existence.
