DAMPF julkaisi singlet ”War With The World” ja ”Might As Well Have Died”

Ruotsalainen DAMPF julkaisi kaksi uutta singleä ”War With The World” ja ”Might As Well Have Died”, jotka ovat viimeiset singlelohkaisut yhtyeen perjantaina Silver Lining Musicin kautta julkaistavalta ”No Angels Left Alive” -albumilta. Molemmille kappaleille tehtiin myös musiikkivideot.

Vokalisti-lauluntekijä A-TRON (Martin Erikson) kertoo ”War With The World” -kappaleesta:

 “The first song “War With The World” is a maritime singalong-flavored juggernaut. Persuading people to go to war by using powerful words is obviously a complex subject. Take for example Napoleon. He made people go euphorically wild with his speeches and suddenly people were charging towards the ‘enemy’ with only pikes or other makeshift weapons even though they knew that the enemies were stronger and larger in numbers. They felt invincible thanks to those speeches: people just responding with flock mentality to those words, instead of taking a moment to think, ‘hold on, you’re going to fight that person for what?! A bottle of rum or whatever?’ Madness!” 

”Might As Well Have Died” -kappaleesta kerrotaan:

“The second song, ‘Might As Well Have Died,’ is probably DAMPF’s darkest yet. The lyrics are the dark thoughts you can sometimes have, for various reasons, when you can’t sleep. ‘Why am I putting energy into all of this when it’s done anyway?’ It can be a simple relationship that has ended, you think you have done everything that you can and it still goes to hell. Or you try to work or study for a better future, then a handful of dictators start wars in all corners of the world… threatening me with nuclear weapons when I just had a baby, what the hell? It’s a feeling of cold, empty hopelessness.”
