Martin ”E-Type” Eriksonin DAMPF julkaisemassa uuden albumin – Ensimmäinen single ”Masquerade” julkaistu

Martin ”E-Type” Eriksonin metalliyhtye DAMPF julkaisee 23. elokuuta toisen albuminsa ”No Angels Alive” Silver Lining Musicin kautta. Nyt yhtye on julkaissut levyltä ensimmäisen singlen ”Masquerade”, joka sai seurakseen musiikkivideon.

Erikson kertoo yhtyeestään:

”In DAMPF, we can dwell on all kind of stories: the dark, the weird, the eeriness… the rotten parts of the forest and nature or strange gods or weird people or small people living underneath the moss. We developed this band so that we can allow ourselves to go to all these places you’re not meant to. It’s so liberating to have band where you can say, ‘yeah, let’s do this,’ and not be remotely concerned about whether it ‘fits’ or not.”

Erikson taustoittaa ”Masqueradea”:

”The song explores the dark spirit and soul of Jacob Johan Anckarström, a disgruntled Swedish military officer whose anger and dissatisfaction with Swedish King Gustav III led him to attempt regicide at a Masquerade Ball before assassinating him at the Royal Stockholm Opera on March 16th, 1792. This happened 300 years ago, but the ‘evil eyes’ are still plotting in modern times: today’s ‘Masquerade’ is about keeping people in the dark, giving them bread, water, flour, and keeping them happy with what they see on the surface, which of course only allows darkness to flourish out of sight and in the shadows.”
