The hauntingly brilliant composer Dikajee has previously announced her brand‑new album The Frame, due out on 6 November. She now offers the second video single, "Home Of The Wind", featuring Vikram Shankar (Within Temptation, Lux Terminus) on keys and Avandra on guitars and drums.
Dikajee offers a deeply personal reflection on the song and video: "This song is about how the most terrible and most wonderful things can happen at the same time and your happiness can be bittersweet. I always wanted to go live in the UK - but I've never thought that I'll be moving during the war; and having to separate with my family that was going through grief after the loss of my father. But at the same time it's about not letting fear and grief make my decisions for me. I still want to follow my dreams and make art and I want to follow my music, not fear and depression. It's very hard, but regretting would probably hit harder. The alternative name for the song is 'black wings' cause I feel like I'm flying to my dream on black wings now".

"I think we longed for a band where we could be there from scratch and form everything the way we want." - Fabienne Erni
"I think it's basically a mutation of a lot of different things — like a hybrid creature nobody quite knows how to categorise. A heretic, I guess." - Håvard Ellefsen (Mortiis)
"We only make an album when we feel genuinely inspired. You can't just say, "OK, I'm going to record a new album", because without inspiration, it would be boring." - Gregor Mackintosh
