Well, maybe someone indeed, but that is not the case this\u003cbr\u003etime, because there is something a little different on the plate...' The contemplative voice belongs to guitarist extraordinaire Markus\u003cbr\u003eVanhala (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum). In the new somber group, CEMETERY SKYLINE, Vanhala is joined by keyboardist\u003cbr\u003eSanteri Kallio (Amorphis), drummer Vesa Ranta (Sentenced, The Abbey), bassist Victor Brandt (Dimmu Borgir and many more) and\u003cbr\u003esinger Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect). 'With CEMETERY SKYLINE, we're stepping into previously untrodden\u003cbr\u003emusical directions - those darker alleys that we hold dear in our hearts but haven't really wandered before. And we're collectively\u003cbr\u003every excited!'\u003cbr\u003eOne of the key words, goth, was already mentioned. 'We all share a deep love for goth rock from the 80s and 90s - whether it's\u003cbr\u003emore synth-driven or heavier guitar-dominated stuff. You know the deal with the best bands from The Sisters of Mercy to Type O\u003cbr\u003eNegative', says Santeri Kallio, who shares songwriting duties with Vanhala. 'But is CEMETERY SKYLINE a goth band? Maybe to\u003cbr\u003ean extent, but that's certainly not the whole story. If you have to describe CEMETERY SKYLINE's diverse music somehow, do us a\u003cbr\u003efavor and call us ambassadors of melodic, melancholic and dark rock. Thank you.'\u003cbr\u003eThe content of the band's lyrics is deeply buried in the dark gothic atmosphere. The concept written by Stanne - for the first time in\u003cbr\u003ehis distinguished career Mikael uses clean vocals throughout the album - dives irresistibly into the paradoxical world of 'northern\u003cbr\u003esolitude'. 'The lyrics are deeply rooted in the self-chosen solitary life of the Nordic people, their anti-social behavior and bleak\u003cbr\u003esense of humor... When writing the lyrics, I took advantage of this feature of ours, which you could call the Scandinavian gothic\u003cbr\u003elifestyle', says Stanne.\u003cp\u003eTorn Away\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Darkness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolent Storm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the Lie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Silence Speaks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Darkest Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNever Look Back\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coldest Heart\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnomalie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether Alone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54509705003393,"sku":"2436042","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0198028228220.jpg?v=1753299504","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2436042","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
