Introduction
Introduction
Legacy of the Scorched is the 2014 debut EP from Swedish metal project Endwayz, driven entirely by the vision of Poria Maftoon—a one-man force behind the composition, lyrics, production, and instrumentation. Rooted in the crushing weight of groove metal, shaded with the brooding aesthetics of gothic metal, and unflinching in its extreme metal intensity and brutal vocals, this five-track collection delves deep into existential chaos, resistance, spiritual upheaval, and rebirth through destruction.
Each track is not merely a song, but a philosophical expression—a cry from within the furnace of a fractured world. Below is a track-by-track conceptual analysis that gives voice to the themes behind the storm.
Each track in this album offers a unique experience, unveiling dark realms, fierce battles, and the brutal beauty of metal music:
1. Tidal Force Chaos
1. Tidal Force Chaos
This opening track is a violent hymn to nature’s indifference. The sea becomes a metaphor for primal chaos—an ancient, relentless force pulling humanity toward the abyss. The “tidal force” is both literal and symbolic: representing emotional breakdown, existential collapse, and the overwhelming unpredictability of life.
This is Nietzschean chaos—a test of will. To “embrace the madness” is to choose defiance over despair, and in doing so, find a form of freedom even in annihilation. We are not observers of destruction; we are participants in its rhythm.
2. Break the Chains
A furious rebellion against inner and outer oppression, this track speaks to existential liberation. The lyrics reject imposed identity, institutional lies, and psychological chains. The central message: rage, when channelled, becomes a purifying fire.
Echoes of Jean-Paul Sartre and Camus—freedom exists not in comfort but in revolt. “I’ll rise instead” affirms the self in a world of falsity. The “beast” is not something to be feared but claimed—a symbol of authenticity, primal strength, and personal sovereignty.
3. Legacy of the Scorched
The title track is an anthem of post-apocalyptic resilience. It imagines survival after spiritual, societal, or literal devastation. In the ruins, there’s no nostalgia—only power. The “scorched” are not victims of destruction but authors of a new world forged from ash.
A Heraclitan vision—rebirth through fire. What does not burn, does not grow. The “legacy” is not a lineage of blood, but of struggle, memory, and transformation. This is a song of empowered decay, where destruction becomes a gateway to truth.
4. Golden God Spells
Myth meets modernity in this dark spiritual vision. This song critiques blind worship and corrupted transcendence, showing how human greed awakens gods not of salvation but of wrath. The divine becomes monstrous when summoned by impure hands.
A Gnostic inversion: instead of enlightenment, revelation brings ruin. The “golden god spell” is a metaphor for unchecked ambition—whether political, technological, or religious—that spirals out of control. This track challenges the listener to question the price of power.
5. Change the Negative View
The final track shifts from wrath to reconstruction. It’s an anthem of mental rebellion—against inherited negativity, cultural conditioning, and self-doubt. A call to awaken, this song encourages internal revolution to reshape perception. Existential optimism through struggle. This song bridges stoicism and rebellion—acknowledging suffering while refusing to succumb to it. It declares that the world is not to be accepted as given but transformed through the will.
Conclusion
Conclusion
Legacy of the Scorched is not just a metal release—it is a conceptual work where philosophy, personal struggle, and sonic aggression converge. In a world increasingly defined by collapse and confusion, Endwayz offers not answers, but weapons: introspection, resistance, and raw power.
This EP stands as a testament to creative independence, spiritual defiance, and the enduring fire within the human soul.

Endwayz - Tidal Force Chaos
Endwayz - Tidal Force Chaos
In the dark, the ocean roars,
A tempest brews on distant shores,
Riptides pulling, the chaos calls,
Beneath the surface, the ancient thralls.
Waves collide, the fury breaks,
The sky ignites as the earth quakes,
With every pulse, the forces rise,
A tidal wave beneath the skies.
Tidal force chaos, ruling the night,
Unleash the storm, unleash the fight!
Crashing down, we feel the rage,
Embrace the madness, we’ll break the cage!
Lights flash bright, a warning bell,
The sea consumes, a personal hell,
Hunters and pray, we dance on the knife,
In the eye of the storm, we cheat our life.
Waves collide, a violent fate,
The oceans roar, it’s all too late,
With every rise, we feel the strife,
A tidal force that takes our life.
Tidal force chaos, ruling the night,
Unleash the storm, unleash the fight!
Crashing down, we feel the rage,
Embrace the madness, we’ll break the cage!
From the depths, we rise like ghosts,
In a savage tide, we’re the lost hosts,
Every whisper, every scream,
Caught in chaos, we’re living the dream!
Tidal force chaos, ruling the night,
Unleash the storm, embrace the fright!
Crashing down, we feel the rage,
In the tidal force, we’ll engage!
Tidal force, chaos calls to me,
In the heart of the storm, I’m finally free!
The ocean’s wrath, my final breath,
In this chaos, I’ll dance with death!
Endwayz - Break the Chains
Endwayz - Break the Chains
Born into silence, trapped in the cold,
Bound by the lies they sold.
A thousand voices scream in my head,
But I won't kneel, I'll rise instead.
Caged in a world of fire and steel,
Shadows creep, but I won't yield.
Through the darkness, I see the flame,
A spark to burn the chains of shame.
They told me to surrender, to bow and obey,
But I’ll ignite the night and light the way.
Break the chains, tear the walls apart,
Feel the thunder pounding in your heart.
Rise from the ashes, let the fury reign,
Unleash the beast and break the chains!
Whispers of fear, venomous lies,
Trying to blind my searching eyes.
Their rules, their games, they built my cage,
But now I'm free to unleash my rage.
No fear, no no no, no master’s call,
I’ll stand alone and take them all.
The scars I wear, my battle crown,
I’ll tear the heavens down.
They told me to surrender, to bow and obey,
But I’ll ignite the night and light the way.
Break the chains, tear the walls apart,
Feel the thunder pounding in your heart.
Rise from the ashes, let the fury reign,
Unleash the beast and break the chains!
No prison, no shackles, no chains will bind me!
The rage inside will set me free!
Break the chains, tear the walls apart,
Feel the thunder pounding in your heart.
Rise from the ashes, let the fury reign,
Unleash the beast and break the chains!
Break the chains, let the night ignite,
Stand and fight with all your might.
Through the darkness, feel the flame,
We’ll rise as one and break the chains!

Endwayz - Legacy of the Scorched
Through the ashes, we rise, unbroken and bold,
A tale of fire, a story untold.
The earth trembled beneath our might,
Burning the heavens, devouring the light.
A storm was born in the heat of the flame,
We walked through the embers, calling your name.
The earth gave way, but we stand tall,
Legacy forged in the darkness that falls.
We are the legacy of the scorched,
The flames that never die.
Through the ruins and the ruins of time,
We will rise, we will rise!
In the blood of the fallen, we stand,
Unyielding in our demand,
We are the legacy of the scorched!
Shattered kingdoms, their ruins we claim,
Rising from chaos, we fuel the flame.
No gods to guide, no kings to fall,
We are the ones who answer the call.
The skies bleed red with the fires we’ve sown,
We conquer the ashes; the world we’ve overthrown.
In the dust, our names will remain,
Echoes of power, whispers of pain.
We are the legacy of the scorched,
The flames that never die.
Through the ruins and the ruins of time,
We will rise, we will rise!
In the blood of the fallen, we stand,
Unyielding in our demand,
We are the legacy of the scorched!
From the pyres, we forge the crown,
With blood-stained hands, we take the ground.
No retreat, no surrender, no fear,
In the face of death, we persevere!
We are the legacy of the scorched,
The flames that never die.
Through the ruins and the ruins of time,
We will rise, we will rise!
In the blood of the fallen, we stand,
Unyielding in our demand,
We are the legacy of the scorched!
In the fire, we are reborn,
From the ashes, we shall mourn.
But through the smoke, we will endure,
The legacy of the scorched, forever pure.
Endwayz - Golden God Spells
Endwayz - Golden God Spells
In the dimness of the temple, where the flames collide,
A whisper shakes the heavens; a power none can hide.
The ancient incantation, carved in stone so deep,
Awakens gods of fury from their eternal sleep.
Burning sigils light the sky,
Boundless wrath, we can't deny.
Chained no more, the gods rebel,
Unleashed by the golden spell!
Golden god spell, rise from the void,
Unleash the wrath, creation destroyed.
Blinding light and the thunder’s knell,
We’re bound to the golden god spell.
An altar bathed in crimson, the price of mortal greed,
A sacrifice of virtue to fulfill the darkened need.
The whispers grow to roars, the ground begins to quake,
A god reborn in vengeance, the world begins to break.
Burning sigils light the sky,
Boundless wrath, we can't deny.
Chained no more, the gods rebel,
Unleashed by the golden spell!
Golden god spell, rise from the void,
Unleash the wrath, creation destroyed.
Blinding light and the thunder’s knell,
We’re bound to the golden god spell.
All shall kneel before the might,
Stars will fall, consumed by night.
The ancient power, now untamed,
The mortal world forever claimed.
Screams of chaos, skies will rend,
Life and time will meet their end.
Golden god, we hear your cry,
Eternal flames burn the sky.
Golden god spell, rise from the void,
Unleash the wrath, creation destroyed.
Blinding light and the thunder’s knell,
We’re bound to the golden god spell.
Ashes rain from the divine,
Mortals lost to powers blind.
Forever cursed, we’ll tell the tale,
Of the god’s rebirth through the golden spell.
Endwayz - Change the Negative View
Endwayz - Change the Negative View
They told you the sky was falling,
That shadows would swallow the day.
Whispers of doubt keep calling,
But we’re not meant to live this way.
Raise your head, break the silence,
Face the mirror, tear the mask.
No more bowing to their violence,
It’s time to rise, it’s time to ask.
Why live in fear of the unknown?
Why let them carve your soul from stone?
Shatter the chains, break through the haze,
Burn down the lies they’ve set ablaze.
Turn the dark to something new,
Let’s change the negative view.
Rise like fire, pure and true,
We’ll change the negative view.
They thrive on your hesitation,
A kingdom built on your regret.
But every spark of transformation
Is a battle they haven’t won yet.
No more waiting in the shadows,
No more feeding on despair.
Through the ashes, through the gallows,
We find freedom in the air.
Why live in fear of the unknown?
Why let them carve your soul from stone?
Shatter the chains, break through the haze,
Burn down the lies they’ve set ablaze.
Turn the dark to something new,
Let’s change the negative view.
Rise like fire, pure and true,
We’ll change the negative view.
Every scream, every cry,
Echoes louder in the sky.
Every fall, every fight,
Leads us closer to the light.
Break! Break the mold!
Rise! Take control!
Let the poison fade away,
Feel the dawn of a brighter day!
Shatter the chains, break through the haze,
Burn down the lies they’ve set ablaze.
Turn the dark to something new,
Let’s change the negative view.
Rise like fire, pure and true,
We’ll change the negative view.
Through the storm, through the flame,
We’ll reclaim our name.
No longer bound, no longer blue,
We’ll change the negative view.
