Die Bay Area Klopper AENIMUS zeigen uns jetzt ihre Version von OPETHs ‘Demon Of The Fall‘ und erklären dazu:

“When Nuclear Blast approached us with the idea of covering a classic metal song, we honestly had a hard time deciding what song or even artist we would cover. We went back and forth for months before one of our label reps brought up the idea of paying tribute to OPETH. This idea felt immediately right with all of us.
OPETH is one of Greg’s favorite bands and they are one of the pioneers of progressive death metal, so it was an easy yes. We decided to go with one of their older songs, ‚Demon of the Fall‘ because not only is it a great song that is heavy and really fit the vibes we were going for with our follow up EP ‚Sacrificial‘ but we felt with today’s modern production we could really transform this song into something amazing.
When reimagining this track, we wanted to keep that classic OPETH feel to it but give it a more modern AENIMUS sound so we focused in on adding a full orchestration behind the song and Brian even added a nice arpeggio section over one of the instrumental breaks. We are super happy how it all turned out and hope that the legends in OPETH get a chance to hear it, and maybe even dig it too.“

Lyrics:

Silent dance with death

Everything is lost

Torn by the arrival of autumn

The blink of an eye, you know it’s me

You keep the dagger close at hand

 

And you saw nothing

False love turned to pure hate

The wind cried lamentation

Before merging with the grey

 

Demon, demon of the fall

Demon, demon of the fall

Demon, demon of the fall

Demon, demon of the fall

 

Gasping for another breath

She rose, screaming at closed doors

Seductive faint mist

Forging through the cracks in the wall

 

I shan’t resist

In tears for all of eternity

She turned around

And faced me for the first time

 

Run away, run away, run away

Run away, run away, run away

 

Just one second, and I was left with nothing

Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air

That day came to an end

And she had lost in me her credence
