DAMPF // New Single & Video “No Angels Alive” Out Today
VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK ‘NO ANGELS ALIVE’ OUT NOWNO ANGELS ALIVE SET FOR RELEASE 23RD AUGUST 2024 AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER AT THIS LOCATION
Swedish genre-blending power rockers DAMPF release the bewitching video for ‘No Angels Alive’. The title track is taken from their sophomore album, out on August 23rd via Silver Lining Music.
The single ‘No Angels Alive’, offers a fresh view of the heart of modern darkness. “We live in a chaotic world, and these are dark times, so metaphorically speaking, it’s about all the angels having been withdrawn from earth and sent back to heaven thus leaving us on our own down here in this ‘limbo’” explains keyboardist/songwriter Beak. “It all just feels hopeless: we can’t do anything more because humanity is on a rampage and it’s not going to end well. Let’s go and find another planet to save, shall we?!”
Watch/Listen to ‘No Angels Alive’ at this location. Video by Ted Lindén at Bullsize Production.
Led by singer/songwriter A-TRON (aka Martin Erikson – E-Type) and Beak, No Angels Alive is an all-in 10 song storytelling experience blending expansive yet tightly bound stylistic ingredients incorporating hard rock, thrash, melodic power metal and electronic edges. Recorded at Yard Street Studios (Solna, Sweden) and produced by Jona Tee, be gloriously warned: DAMPF’s second studio offering,No Angels Alive, is not -and never was conceived to be- for the faint of heart.
Completed by Bhéara (aka Olivia Thörn on vocals), Haderajja (aka David Wallin on drums – Hammerfall), Bahari (aka Pontus Egberg on bass – King Diamond, The Poodles), Skaeggyxa (aka Love Magnusson on guitar – Dynazty), Sha-Zam’s (aka Sam Söderlindh on guitar) and Arkoūda (aka Björn Åkesson, growl), DAMPF engage in a theatrical journey through the timeless historical corridors of human darkness and their opus, No Angels Alive, plays like a grand collective performance piece, with an innate sense of beautiful, catchy melody finding ample room and context alongside the overall brutality of DAMPF.
The first single/video released from the album, ‘Masquerade’ is available to stream at this location. Video by Ted Lindén at Bullsize Production.
Scary yet colourful, heavy yet catchy, listen to No Angels Alive with a genreless mind and an open heart; the rewards of this immense and unique album will be plentiful.
