This time we've written something about the only lengthy instrumental track on the album.
Challenger Deep
Otto: One of those songs I came up with almost during one single sitting. I
just sat at my computer with my guitar and bass and the song really wrote
itself. Completely instrumental, this song rather obviously betrays my love for
post-rock and post-metal.
Henri: If my memory serves me, we had this idea of a song that would be
sort of like a continuation of “In the Trench”, and we even had the title
ready: moving from the Mariana Trench into Challenger Deep, the deepest point
on the surface of Earth. Wasn’t long when Otto came up with this thing.
Instrumental, so the theme is carried on in name only, but it’s picked up in
words also in the following song.
Otto: I enjoy how this song contrasts really massive and heavy parts with
parts that are quite light and airy, yet never feeling too abrupt.
Although we've managed a few
times to tackle this song through in our rehearsals, I really doubt that this
song is ever going to be a mainstay in our live shows. The album version is so
moody, I find it hard to replicate the song's crushing atmosphere live.
Of Woe or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and
Love the Gloom is out now on our Bandcamp page as well as Spotify, Google Play, iTunes etc.
