Genre-blending rockers Dampf drop two new songs

With a new (and second) album coming out in just two days, Swedish genre-blending heavy metalers and rockers Dampf released two quite different songs from each other today – out of the new upcoming album: “War With The World” and “Might As Well Have Died“. The band Dampf came together only two years ago, in 2022.

Vocalist A-TRON (Martin Erikson) gave comments about both songs:

Talking about the song “War With The World“:
“Persuading people to go to war by using powerful words is obviously a complex subject. Take for example Napoleon, he made people go euphorically wild with his speeches and suddenly people were charging towards the ‘enemy’ with only pikes or other makeshift weapons even though they knew that the enemies were stronger and larger in numbers. They felt invincible thanks to those speeches: people just responding with flock mentality to those words, instead of taking a moment to think: ‘hold on, you’re going to fight that person for what?! A bottle of rum or whatever? Madness!”

“The second song “Might As Well Have Died” is probably Dampf‘s darkest yet. The lyrics are the dark thoughts you can sometimes have, for various reasons, when you can’t sleep. Why am I putting energy into all of this when it’s done anyway?  It can be a simple relationship that has ended, you think you have done everything that you can and it still goes to hell. Or you try to work or study for a better future, then a handful of dictators start wars in all corners of the world… threatening me with nuclear weapons when I just had a baby, what the hell? It’s a feeling of cold, empty hopelessness.”

Both singles will be featured in Dampf‘s new album “No Angels Alive” out in two days, on August 23rd. The album will feature ten songs and is an album with a quite big range of music styles, including stylistic features of for example hard rock, thrash, melodic power metal and electronic edges.
