Few words regarding the release:
The idea for the song "A stranger to this land" came from the book of Justin Cronin "The twelve" ( the second novel in The Passage trilogy). A major character from the first novel — endures horrific experiences during the post-apocalyptic events, and gives birth to a stillborn baby. Her trauma over these events is depicted into the lyrics of the song. These riffs and melodies were supposed to be featured in our previous album "Entropy", but somehow were left out. It's a pretty heavy song and it would have been placed between "Towards the ruins" and "Be well" near the end. Unfortunately, as time is an issue for all of us and getting together and finish things is not that easy as it used to.
Regarding the second song, the cover version - "Things change"... when we booked the studio to record the drums it was only for two songs and we had it available just for us for the entire day. The duration of those 2 songs is 10 minutes. So we decided to make use of the time...
We were considering this for quite a while. The last time Darkflight did and publish a cover version was in 2007 (while the song was recorded maybe at least 2 years prior the release) when we participated into the Skepticism tribute with the song "The raven and the backward funeral".
Anyways, we weren't sure which one to choose. The songs we had in mind were; IamX - "Surrender", The Low Lows - "Dear flies, love spider", Galaxie 400 - "Strange" and King Crimson's "Starless". Then we heard the US doom band Iress covering "What was I made for"... and it was stunning - it turned out so fucking good. So, our eyes turned to this "disco ballad" of the Belgian band Milk Inc and decided to make it into a funeral doom song! Here, we are working with new singer -- Sevi Ettinger who did an amazing job.
As for the last song on this EP - the completely re-recorded and enhanced version of "To Die In Your Arms" from our first album "Under the Shadow of Fear".
We consider it one of the best tracks we've ever written, yet it somehow feels incomplete. So we added two new verses and developed it with a new ending. Now the track makes more sense while retaining the "dungeon synth" feel from the early 2000s.
"Borrowed warmth"
We've started working on a new album, and as always there are some preliminary song titles that we would like to share (it would be interesting to see how many of them will survive, though). We hope it won't take that long to complete it this time. Expect a step up in everything!
