Tundra

FINISHED!

That's right, the second demo is all done! I can't tell what a relief this is after working my butt off for more than two months. Thanks to Fredric Holmström and SV Nord for everything they have done for Tundra.

The song order isn't 100% set but will probably look like this:

Terminal Bliss
Come Sanity
Voices of the Night
Going Down
Second to None
The Ravens head

Terminal Bliss is an uptempo song, really simple with some nice double bass drums. It deals with the danger of joining brain washing cults and such.

Come Sanity handles the ordeal of depression and anxiety, something I have had plenty of personal experience with. Sort of mid-tempo with a middle section that builds up to a climactic melody solo.

The Voices of the Night is downright nasty and the most evil song on the demo. We all have had those dark and eerie thoughts, right? Well TVotN is about being tempted by the dark side. Stikkan did a fantastic job on this one.

Going Down Women! Can't live with them, can't kill them. But nevertheless, after every heartache, every gut-wrenching breakup you always make the same mistake again. By far the heaviest number this time around. Stikkans delivery has to be heard to be believed.  

Second to None Fast song with lots of blasting bass drums, twin-lead guitar work and high-pitched screams. Just the way we like it! The lyrics are all about being on top of the world for once.

Which brings us to the closer, The Ravens Head. I call this a mini-epic since it isn't quite long enough to be a "real" epic song. Lyrically I was inspired by a novel called "The Witches Defender" by swedish author Jan Gillou. The story in short is about being ostracized and disowned by people you once called friends.
