How's this sound? I want honest opinions, I need this to be as good as it possibly can be before I send it off to be released on all platforms.

For a while it was. The aim was that it should help the subreddit focus on quality over quantity, and I believe this worked. However, /r/epicmetal as been pretty stagnant in growth for several years, and I'm thinking we should abandon this rule to help curb that (though it's not like I've even enforced it for the last year).
Just looking for thoughts on this, or even any other suggestions regarding this subreddit.

Even as a child, in addition to writing stories, I also rhymed all sorts of nonsense. Over time, this began to develop into song lyrics, through which I shared my thoughts, feelings, and dreams. Sadly, I had no talent for either music or singing, so the lyrics lay doomed to disappear along with me.
But with new world, new opportunities arise. Sometimes, very unexpected ones. And, here it is, first officially released song with my lyrics in it.
I chose it deliberately to be the first, as it embodies my dream of an eternal journey in search of the unknown, of a world where humanity transcends its primitive nature, forgets conflicts, and unites to explore the universe. Looking at the modern world (which I'll discuss in future tracks), it's a completely naive utopia, but I know there are people who dream of it too, and this song is just for them. It tells the story of humanity, that is finally reaching the stars through hardship, and it's inspired by good old science fiction like the books of Harrison, Asimov, Clarke (and modern-day Tchaikovsky), as well as series like Star Trek (there's a reference in the lyric video).
The lyrics are in the song (it's a lyrics video).
Since I'm responsible mostly for the concept and lyrics, I'd be interested in getting primary feedback about those. My English is pretty mediocre, and even during the writing stage, I was constantly correcting mistakes with correction services and rewriting. However, writing in English is also easiest because of the sheer number of words, a rhyming dictionary can sometimes show me a thousand rhymes for a single word.
So, did I screw up somewhere, or is it just anxiety getting the better of me? Is the lyrics beautiful, interesting, and musically sounding? Say what you think.

Don't mind the bad editing, I'm not a good video editor, just focus on the music ;D

Dark and Symphonic, "A Vampire's Legacy" is part II of the Lucifer and Helena trilogy. A tale of love and mortality taken from the album "My Kingdom Come" (out 27th of March 2026)
The song "A Vampire's Legacy" continues what Timeless Rage started in "Moonbite Serenade". What begins as hope for redemption ends in guilt.
If you rather like to listen on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music or any other provider,

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a dark sacred metal project that blends gothic metal, gregorian choirs and biblical apocalyptic themes.
This is my newest track called “Seal Of Ashes”.
It’s a cinematic, spiritual and heavy song inspired by fallen kingdoms, divine judgement and the last holy covenant.
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback — especially about atmosphere, vocals and overall vibe.
Thanks for listening.

This song has a nice build up to an absolute epic finish. The guitar has a bit of a UK post punk feel similar to Cure by Tristania, and there are some nice piano and violin touches sprinkled throughout. The guitar/bass/drums during the chorus give the impression of wings flapping, which pairs perfectly with the lyrics
