Philip
(vocals) brought in Dennis to contribute towards lyrics and melody and
together they continued to rewrite and rearrange the songs. Some songs
were kept in their original form (Bow Down, Awakening), others were torn
apart, rebuilt, rearranged and so on. For example, the track New Hell
contains just one original riff from the old version, the rest was
written in 2016. Most of the songs were made in a similar way, however,
they did spend more time of arrangements, melodies and hooks this time
to create the very best they were able to make which in their own
opinion they achieved.
All
guitars were recorded in his home studio by Philip. He also programmed
all the drums for this particular release (Björn joined after the record
already recorded and the bass was done by the groups old friend, Håkan
Johansson.
Lyrically, the theme of the album became ‘fire’. In some songs this can be represented in a few words and in others such as The Scorching and Flame Of A 1000 Suns, the whole thing is based on the concept of fire rising from the ashes and also with some apocalyptic feelings to it.
The
vocals were recorded at a studio in Mörbylånga, Öland, close to where
Dennis was born, which made him feel at home and had a great deal of
impact on the way everything came out. Carry The Torch are very proud of their efforts on Obsession have never been this excited to unleash their new album to an unsuspecting world.
Keep the flame burning and enjoy!
