DAMPF: Empty hopelessness?

Tomorrow the Swedish metalheads will release their second album “No Angels Alive”. The new single “Might As Well Have Died” is another harbinger of the gripping album. – Perhaps also the darkest release to date. Singer Martin Erikson explains that it’s about the dark thoughts that keep you from sleeping: “Why do I put energy into all this when it’s done anyway? It can be a simple relationship that has ended, you think you’ve done all you can and it’s still going wrong. Or you try to work or study for a better future, and then a handful of dictators start wars in all corners of the world … and threaten me with nuclear weapons, even though I’ve just had a baby, so what? It’s a feeling of cold, empty hopelessness.”
