“Swallow My Lies” is very representative of the band’s sound today,” said the band. “It has a good balance between power, rage, and these heady melodies which are our trademark. The chorus will not leave anyone indifferent, it anchors itself in the head from the first listen. The texts reflect the current global political landscape, and the influence of the media in public opinion among other things.”
“Facing The End” will be the band’s first since the 1999 debut “Black Dreams of Silence” and will feature the powerhouse vocals of Soilwork‘s legendary frontman, Björn “Speed” Strid. It will be released in November 2024 in CD, vinyl and digital formats via The Circle Music.
The artwork to “Facing The End” was done by Valnoir of Metastazis, while the mastering for the album was done by Nino Helfrich at Skull Tone Studios.
The band said: “Our new album may come as a surprise to those who know us, but all the ingredients that make us unique are there. Perhaps less atmospheric, but more effective, the mix of melody and aggression will make every song stick in your head from the first time you listen to it.”
