Seraphim old artwork
This is the second track (or first??) recorded by Seraphim back in 2006 and released a year later on November 12 2007. An epic grandeur of melody and mayhem, As for Now it Begins proved to be their most ambitious effort to date. Spanning nearly 11 minutes, the song opens up with decent yet memorable acoustic passages which became a trademark for any piece of music written by Malays in Southeast Asia. For those who are familiar with early non - wankering works of Cradle of Filth would readily acknowledge that Han's vocals were downright similar. However, there are a few things which separated them from myriads of imitators or wannabes at their backyard; Seraphim injected potent doses of solos unique to Malays which are alien to acts exported from across the globe. Although one might argue that some key elements are derivative, it remains imperative to note their unparalleled ingenuity. Something that is hard to come by these days. Another thing is, it seemingly epic proportion does not fall short of decent surprises and riffs that one can definitely headbang to. This is not art for art's sake. It goes way beyond that or perhaps deeper than anyone can begin to fathom. However, if you insist to disprove my claim, this song as for now begins to be absorbed within my system as we speak.
