Details:
I''m sure you''ve all read something about how the industry is now "single orientated" and how "the album is dead." So with that in mind, it doesn''t make a lot of sense to release a 28 minute long song as your next album. So guess what we did...
"This Faustian Flesh" is a 28 minute long song broken down into 7 movements/tracks. It''s lyrics deal with a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for apathy and knowledge. Sounds like party material, doesn''t it?
It all started out as a very literal adaptaion of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, but as time went on, we made it a bit more modern and more personal, until we eventually ended up with what we have here. If you''re really curious about the concept, you can find the lyrics on our website https://www.tradebit.com).
At the music end of things, while writing I was mainly listening to Jeff Buckley’s "Grace" and Satyricon’s "Shadowthrone". Then once we started recording, I decided I wanted to get a bit of that layered Porcupine Tree sound and mix that with some of the harsher black metal tones. I really intended this to be a bridge between my more primitive musical instincts and the more structured, progressive side. That being said, I suppose I should mention that those who believe in "genre purity" or similar concepts will probably hate us.
Of course, if I sat here and listed the kinds of people who hate us, I''d be here all day,
