After releasing “In Darkness (Kabbel Remix),” CEMETERY SKYLINE unleashes the next cauldron of bats with “Torn Away (ghostbells remix).” The U.S. duo ghostbells not only adds their signature dark new wave–meets–EBM twist to the track, but also haunting female vocals, bringing even deeper shades of black and purple.
“This is a song about wilful disconnection from everything and everyone and its eventual ramifications”, says Mikael Stanne about the lyrics. What better way to disconnect for a hot minute than immersing yourself in an underground club. Victor Brandt adds: “There‘s a pulse in this remix that feels made for dark places and loud nights. We hope you like it and we are looking forward to seeing you in dark, loud venues on Cemetery Skyline‘s tour this May.”
With CEMETERY SKYLINE drawing influences from late 80s and 90s goth metal and rock they were curious what new artists from the vital dark electronic scene could bring to their music. All remixes are a part of the “Nordic Gothic (Deluxe Edition)” that comes with a full bonus disc with unreleased and rare songs and versions that were compiled since the original release of the album like the (so far) one of a kind semi acoustic session that the band played in New York City as well as the afore mentioned remixes. The music is accompanied by a booklet with behind the scenes and live photos from their first gatherings as a band.
Markus Vanhala comments: “We‘ve been having so much fun in this misery called ’Nordic Gothic‘ that we just decided to release it again! As you notice, we recorded some more songs during the original sessions, so here‘s the full ’Nordic Gothic‘ saga shining in the dark. Unreleased material, the standalone single releases, NYC acoustic live tracks that show a different side of the songs as well as something completely different: the remixes by outside artists! This should be a pretty cool deluxe edition with a disc full of unreleased material. N-joy!”
