Friday, April 14: Soilwork, “The Undying Eye”
R.I.P. David Andersson (1975-2022)
The Underworld EP appeared as an addendum to Verkligheten, and its four tracks were something of a bridge between the more progressive approach Soilwork began adopting around The Ride Majestic and the more straightforward songwriting of their previous material. As it was, “The Undying Eye” was both direct and a bit woolly, with David Andersson’s music and lyrics flowing nicely but also feeling abstract to the point of inscrutable. What made it work was the band’s confidence- Andersson was a rather instinctive writer, and Björn "Speed" Strid clearly relished the chance to be more adventurous with his singing. There was a strange dichotomy at work on “The Undying Eye”, as it was just as melodic and catchy as previous Soilwork numbers, but also felt completely distinct from what they had done before. In that way the track showed just how far the band had come, and presented them in the midst of a rather intriguing evolution.

Eshtadur ft. Björn Strid, Per Nilsson & Allan Marcus - Burning Heart
Two worlds collide Rival nations It's a primitive clash Venting years of frustrations Bravely we hope Against all hope There is so much at stake Seems our freedom's up Against the ropes Does the crowd understand? Is it East versus West Or man against man Can any nation stand alone In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning heart In the warrior's code There's no surrender Though his body says stop His spirit cries - never! Deep in our soul A quiet ember Knows it's you against you It's the paradox That drives us on It's a battle of wills In the heat of attack It's the passion that kills The victory is yours alone In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning Heart Just about to burst There's a quest for answers An unquenchable thirst In the darkest night Rising like a spire In the burning heart The unmistakable fire In the burning heart

EPICA Releases New Single 'Arcana'
Dutch symphonic metal titans EPICA have released a brand new single, "Arcana". The track heralds a new chapter in EPICA's two-decade-long history and marks the band's first new release since the group's chart-topping 2021 album "Omega" and the collaboration EP "The Alchemy Project". It offers a glimpse into the band’s future music, coming in 2025.
EPICA comments: "'Arcana' guides you through the universal stages of spiritual evolution in life. It leads the way to a higher consciousness and spiritual self-awareness.
"Writing this song was a spontaneous effort, so it came together quickly, which felt so natural that it wrote itself. The music contains classic EPICA elements but has some vibes that might remind you of '80s alternative rock or modern metal."
The single is now available on all streaming platforms. It also includes "The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)", EPICA's recently released collaboration with Europe's second-most visited theme park, Netherlands's magical De Efteling, and their much-anticipated new attraction, Danse Macabre.
The music video for "Arcana", directed by Remko Tielemans, can be seen below.
In a recent interview with Spain's Mariskal Rock, EPICA singer Simone Simons spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the follow-up to "Omega" album. She said: "I think that there should be a single by the end of the summer-ish. That's that's our plan. And the album should be released [in] 2025.
"I just wrote with Mark [Jansen, guitar] and Rob [Van Der Loo, bass] also yesterday that I'm so happy with the songs, I'm so proud how everything turned out and it's gonna be another amazing EPICA album.
"We added a couple of new elements, but also went back to the roots, the old EPICA," she continued. "And yeah, I just can't wait for people to hear this.
"I loved 'Omega' and we toured so much with 'Omega' and had wonderful experiences, but then when you reach the end of a touring cycle, you start to get itchy and feel, 'Okay, now it's time to do the new album. Can we do it as good or maybe even better than the last album?' That's always the thing we strive for, ways to renew ourselves a little bit. And we feel a very strong spiritual connection also that it's our ninth album. So there's gonna be themes around the symbolic meaning of nine, the number nine."
Elaborating on the musical direction of EPICA's next album, Simone said: "The songs are heavy. There's a beautiful ballad, a very cinematic song, very uptempo, very doomy, melancholic and amazing, amazing power riffs. It's the most epic EPICA, I think, so far. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm feeling it. I'm very happy with it. I'm proud of it. And they are going to start recording the orchestra now next week. They're flying to Prague; that's where we record the orchestra. And I will be recording my final vocals as well."
In November 2022, EPICA released "The Alchemy Project" through Atomic Fire Records. The EP was co-written and performed with diverse guests ranging from extremists like FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, Niilo Sevänen (INSOMNIUM) and Björn "Speed" Strid (SOILWORK) along with melodic masters like Tommy Karevik (KAMELOT),keyboard legend Phil Lanzon (URIAH HEEP) and Roel Van Helden (POWERWOLF) to a once-in-a-lifetime song with Simons, Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur.
Just one day after the release of its anniversary reissues "We Still Take You With Us" and "Live At Paradiso", EPICA celebrated 20 years of existence live in September 2022 at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands, the same place where they played their first show (supporting ANATHEMA) back in 2002.
EPICA was formed by Jansen after leaving AFTER FOREVER in 2002, and the band quickly gained attention outside their home country, taking big steps towards becoming the leading symphonic metal superpower they have long proven to be. After their ambitious debut "The Phantom Agony" (2002) and the surprisingly eclectic sophomore work "Consign To Oblivion" (2005),the road took them to new heights via their first concept masterpiece "The Divine Conspiracy" (2007) and their global breakthrough "Design Your Universe" (2009). 2012's opus "Requiem For The Indifferent", 2014's bedazzling "The Quantum Enigma" and "The Holographic Principle" (2016),cemented their reputation as not only one of the hardest-working metal bands in the business but also as one of the best. With "Omega", the final part of the metaphysical trilogy they began with "The Quantum Enigma", they reclaimed the throne without so much as the blink of an eye, amassing three million-plus streams during the first week of the album's release.

Hell yeah, thanks for tagging me @jayjay-667! These are all my latest favorite songs, and five spots is not enough, but fine, fine, I play by the rules this time (not tagging 10 people though :^D)
When you see this, post 5 songs you actually listen to and tag 10 of your favorite followers/mutuals!
1. Pendulum & Bullet For My Valentine - Halo
Naturally Pendulum's new track gets a spot. The chorus part and Rob's singing is so good <3
2. Demon Hunter (feat. Björn "Speed" Strid) - Collapsing
A song from 2010 with very 2010 vibes. Makes me feel nostalgic even though i only found this song few weeks ago
3. Purple Disco Machine - Bad Company
Ojhhh this is probably my most favorite right now. I love the groove
4. (Warning: this next video has very bright flashing on it) Solstice - Tears In Rain
As usual, I have no idea what the speech samples are about, but this is currently one of my favorite hardstyle tracks. After over two months of listening I still get goosebumps from the melody and the perfect kicks :D
5. Pegboard Nerds & lug00ber - Bring Me Joy
I love the happy hardcore -parts :3
I'll tag @gremlin4goro and @yee-boii!
Anybody else can do this if they feel like it :)

Wednesday, February 8: Earthside, “Crater”
Given their relative obscurity and lack of label support, it was a bit of a wonder how Earthside managed to land Bjӧrn “Speed” Strid for a guest vocal on A Dream in Static, but somehow “Crater” was a clearer signal of the more progressive direction Strid would take Soilwork than their own previous records. For although The Ride Majestic didn’t sound exactly like this, the ebbs and flows in Earthshine’s music felt like more of a natural predecessor to Verkligheten and Övergivenheten than Soilwork’s first couple records with David Andersson as Strid’s primary musical foil. And Strid sounded completely natural in this environment, trying different vocal textures while working within his usual framework. The musicians in Earthside were adept in making the tracks on A Dream in Static fit seamlessly together while retaining their own identity on account of the very distinct attributes of the guest singers on the vocal numbers, so “Crater” didn’t sound exactly like the title track (fronted by Daniel Tompkins of Tesseract) even though both were clearly the work of the same band. It was too bad Earthside wasn’t able to gain more traction, though at least they managed to give Strid and Andersson some ideas.
