Sirens – (Night in Tangeri) is the second official chapter from Codex of the Vanishing, the upcoming concept album by The Black Enigma.
Where the debut single (20 Drops of Heaviness) was an intimate descent into depression, Sirens explodes outward — fast, intricate, and disorienting.
This track is not a lament: it’s a chase through chaos, a conversation with Death herself.
“You cannot run from her.
But you can dance,
riff by riff, through the shadows she casts.”
This is not just a song — it’s a reckoning in odd time signatures.
Nightfall in Tangeri
Set in a surreal, metaphorical Tangeri, the track evokes a night of visions, fear, and revelation.
Tangeri is not just a city: it’s the threshold between worlds, between breath and oblivion.
And the Sirens that sing from its dark alleys are not beautiful — they are terrifying, seductive, and truthful.
This is the night where the soul must decide whether to vanish or resist.
The Architecture of Madness
Sirens is technically the most intricate track on the album so far.
-
Riffs shift through odd meters and polymetric overlays, like footsteps on unstable ground.
-
The guitar work is sharp, syncopated, and dialogues constantly with the drums, which are programmed with the precision of a trap.
-
The bass is thunderous yet agile, anchoring the chaos.
-
Vocals arrive like incantations, raw and breathless, somewhere between invocation and surrender.
The track was recorded using a quad-tracking system:
-
Left: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier
-
Right: Peavey 5150
Both routed through a KHE amp switcher into a V30 4×12 cab, miked with dual SM57 Fredman, e906, ambient SM58, and a DI path reamped digitally for articulation.
The blend of analog tube saturation and digital tightness reflects the clash of instinct and control — a perfect sonic metaphor for the lyrical theme.
Spell Two — The Sirens’ Calling
This is the second page of Codex of the Vanishing.
If 20 Drops of Heaviness was about survival through despair, Sirens is about the confrontation:
the moment when the mind breaks, and something other — darker, wiser — answers.
Each track from the album is a ritual. Sirens is one you must walk through with eyes open and senses sharp, or risk being lost to the whispering tide.
