Swedish gothic rock band The Dead And Living has returned with a new single, "Damage". The single is taken from their upcoming EP of the same name, which will be released on 28 February 2025 through Rexius Records.
The band comments about the single: "'Damage' leaves a lot of room for interpretation. It isn't set in an obvious geographical or physical place. It's more of a timeless journey, as the universe slowly erodes. It has pretty cool drum beat that defies a few laws of nature, and the production is a lot more modern than anything we've done before."
The Damage EP brings The Dead And Living up to date and into an unknown future. After ten years of wallowing in 19th-century decadence, the band takes one giant leap into the future and beyond.
Vocalist and songwriter Coroner explains: "With this release, we wanted to bring the band and its essence into the contemporary. The sort of space-themed EP makes a lot more sense now than we initially thought it would. The infinite dimensions of space and its vast darkness that has always been there and always will be. It's not so much a science fiction theme as a modern take on this insane cosmic thing we're all part of. One late night, I saw a film called 'A Journey to the End of Time' by Melodysheep on YouTube. The ending quote, leaves you in a lingering state of mind: 'At the end of the universe, nothing happens, and it keeps not happening, forever.' Out of that mental state, the new material started taking shape."
