It contains some elements from all our previous releases but is also taking a step into uncharted waters.
We would like to thank our producer and friend, Martin Ehrencrona, for the excellent time in Studio Cobra. We are very pleased with the results! Also, big thanks to the amazing Anna von Hausswolff who contributed with her beautiful and awe-inspiring vocal landscapes on one of the album songs as well as another piece that serves as B-side on the forthcoming ‘Lady Death‘ EP. We salute you both!
Now, we are eager to spread our wings again and embark on a new journey across the world. The starting point will be Europe and the 12 th of January marks the first day of a tour together with Arch Enemy. Later in March we will travel further east and south of the continent together with Insomnium. We are all very much looking forward to what is to come!”
