Song: “Kæmper Imod“
Album: Drøm
Release Date: July 19th, 2019
Label: Southern Lord Recordings
Guitarist Mathias Schønberg offers of the new track:
“‘Kæmper Imod’ is the opening track of the album Drøm. It’s a song about losing. The title translates to ‘resisting’ or ‘fighting back’ but the lyrics are defeatist as hell. Back when crust-punk was big there was often a sense of resist-to-exist kind of encouragement in the music – there is none of that in this one. This song is about being tied down and not having any agency. It’s about failing to resist. Fun fact though: I’m not sure if anyone can tell, but the guitar part was heavily inspired by a Smashing Pumpkins song.”
