lyrics

Moments
Frozen in time
Pages of pictures from a life
A grey so sublime

Drawn to a world of monochrome design
Half-remembered days play like actors on a stage
There is a meaning behind the tales they tell themselves
The light which they borrow comes from somewhere else

Dancing in a pallid shadow, a gleam of indigo
The feeling of a long summer’s twilight, sepia
A lover’s embrace bathed in regal red and gold
Color burns into an image of a time before, a time of its own

I stir from within
for I’ll never be without
A world painted
from a well of color

A violet sunset shimmers over a field of green
Emerald waves across the mountainside
Feeling swept away, they will not be denied
Whether or not they are my own, I cannot define

A vivid monochrome
With a life all its own
Wanting to be known
Demanding my eyes fall across its brilliant form

about

Northern Crown Florida

In the cracks between the Doom, Prog, and Rock n’ Roll genres, Northern Crown find a unique fit. Their first EP, “In the Hands of the Betrayer”, knocked on the door to the halls of classic metal. Their first album, “The Others”, tested its footing on the fringe of prog. Their self-titled second album was a hydra waving the flag of Doom n’ Roll. "In A Pallid Shadow" will be released July 3, 2020. ... more

Veil of Imagination

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 34 fans who also own “A Vivid Monochrome”

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer

I hate calling anything "straightforward metal" because it belies sharp and varied musicianship, but this album is exactly that. It's heavy, accessible, and very much worth your time. gebs
