News
As some of you may have already noticed, the album has been finished for quite some time. While we still feel that a few small details could be improved, we’ve decided they wouldn’t make a meaningful difference overall. We are extremely proud of the album as a whole, and we believe it represents a significant step forward in many ways compared to Blood Red Sky. Some tracks are already approaching a thousand plays, mainly thanks to Mr. Goth, our number one fan Mikse68, and yours truly. We’ve already begun working on the next big thing, and one new track can be found in the WIP section. We hope you enjoy.
Two new tracks have been added to the album (which has not yet been titled).
- The first is a very electronic track bearing the working title WIPDM, inspired by artists such as Daft Punk and Moby, and is placed as track 2 on the album. I chose this because it has the sound of a Sci-Fi journey in space, and it fits well as a follow-up to the fantastic lyrics Ras gave to "Pigs on Mars". I can’t wait for Mr Goth’s lyrical and phrasing interpretation of the track. I’m excited like a little child.
- The second track is also a journey — but in 3 parts. This track is a bit more old school rock, and here I think I might have made things difficult for Mr. Goth, but we shall see.

WipPP has long been close to its compositional conclusion. It was written at a time when I was hospitalized at Riget for a quadruple bypass. I think you can hear that in the electronic part of the music. Rasmus has beautifully tied it together with lyrics that address the world’s decay, lack of sustainability, and politicians’ indifference and lack of understanding of the responsibility we believe lies with those who take on the role. It’s not just the lyrics but also his sense of atmosphere in his choice of phrasing that, in my opinion, promises a very high level.
I asked ChatGPT if it could understand the lyrics:User: I want you to go line by line and give your interpretation of a song text my friend wrote for some music I composed. The lyrics deal a lot with what’s happening in the world right now. There’s also an extra piece of context: I had a quadruple bypass operation in November while I was writing the music. The song is called Pigs on Mars and here are the lyrics:Your heart surely is your own personal intergalactic doomsday clock ticking away along the path you chose you get but one your writing's in the sand soon washes... We could surely use advice on how to terraform the homeworld back into balance Check your heart at the door to the bridge of this ship. check your brain for more escape plans Lest we go to mars with 14 neglected children and their dad the king of the hill and sucked lolly cars with a pig's heart, AI and no soul chart - commander of a dead star. narcissistic kings of the Hill will bend your will and your limbs but your heart surely is your own mothership of soaring We could surely use a call from beyond on how to terraform our minds Check your heart at the door to the bridge of this ship check your brain for more escape plans We could surely use advice on how to terraform our home back into balance we could have been so oblivious of the hearts of hollow men we could have been so oblivious lest we gave them power Your heart surely is your own personal intergalactic doomsday clock ticking away along the path you choose you get but one your writing's in the sand soon will wash away.Assistant: Thanks for sharing the lyrics and the extra context about your bypass surgery — it really adds depth to both the music and the lyrics. Here’s a line-by-line interpretation, linking imagery, global commentary, and personal undertone, also considering your experience.
1–3. “Your heart / surely is your own / personal intergalactic doomsday clock / ticking away along the path you chose / you get but one / your writing's in the sand soon washes…” - Personal reflection: the heart symbolizes life and vulnerability, emphasized by your surgery. “Intergalactic doomsday clock” evokes mortality and the state of the world.
4. “We could surely use / advice on how to terraform / the homeworld back into balance” - Global perspective: metaphor for healing the Earth and restoring balance, also “terraforming” human minds and society.
5. “Check your heart at the door / to the bridge of this ship / check your brain for more / escape plans” - Advice to navigate physically and morally: emotional readiness and rational planning.
6–7. “Lest we go to mars / with 14 neglected children / and their dad / the king of the hill / and sucked lolly cars / with a pig's heart, AI / and no soul chart - / commander of a dead star.” - Surreal satire and contemporary critique: - Children symbolize future generations, “king of the hill” → power abuse. - “Pig’s heart, AI and no soul chart” → likely Elon Musk reference.
8. “Narcissistic kings of the Hill / will bend your will / and your limbs / but your heart surely is your own / mothership of soaring” - Critique of egoistic leaders but affirmation of personal integrity and hope.
9–10. “We could surely use / a call from beyond on how to terraform / our minds” - Introspection: need to change both world and mind.
11. Repetition emphasizes responsibility and seeking guidance.
12. “We could have been so oblivious / of the hearts of hollow men / we could have been so oblivious / lest we gave them power” - Warning against blindly giving power to egoistic or morally empty people.
13–15. Closing: emphasizes personal responsibility and mortality.
Overall: Personal layer: heart, mortality, reflection; Global layer: power, environment, tech; Contemporary reference: Elon Musk; Surreal/satirical layer: humor and absurdity.User: You’re spot on with your interpretation, but there’s a reference to a contemporary well-known person that you’re overlooking.Assistant: Ah, that makes sense — the line is probably:
“narcissistic kings of the Hill / will bend your will / and your limbs”
Refers to leaders who cling to power, with manipulation implied.User: The line you mention generally refers to all the leaders who are currently clinging to power with selfishness and contempt for democracy and electoral terms. No, it’s another part of the text I’m referring toAssistant: The line is likely:
“Lest we go to mars / with 14 neglected children / and their dad / the king of the hill / and sucked lolly cars / with a pig's heart, AI / and no soul chart - / commander of a dead star.”
“Pig’s heart, AI” → Elon Musk reference; “commander of a dead star” reinforces space/tech symbolism.User: Exactly. That was the reference I was after, and you nailed it!Assistant: Perfect! 😄 Adds an extra layer to the lyrics while keeping the broader commentary on power, ego, and global chaos.[11/05] Algorithm drive-thru, a contemporary and social realist sci-fi painting, is finished. ... Læs mere
So another track is finished on our new journey. The track formerly known as "WipFG" is now called "Algorithm drive-thru" and there will be very few and minor changes to it, if any at all. The track takes the listener on quite a journey through an increasingly (still a little) surreal story that we are excited to see if you can relate to. In the track, we experiment with a new sound universe, lots of dualisms, and end with a style and tempo shift that fits the story. The track is also a debut for the project’s composition lead (yours truly) as a backing vocalist. Of course, under the skilled review of Mr. Goth.
The track "WIP - Groovin Moomin (wipGM)" is now finished. It has received the short and precise title "Primeval testimony of the space acorn".
It is a track we are very proud of, both compositionally and sonically.
We are on a journey of development, and in some respects, the track is a culmination of this, we think. We hope you agree.
It is also the first track where we have ventured to bring Mr. Goth’s second instrument into play, and we are proud of how well it has succeeded. Likewise, it is a track where we have ventured to get the organic (plant-like) to meet the crisp, dirty mechanical. It is difficult to combine without the cake cream splitting. But in our view, it has succeeded here.JKSPost, whom we have previously made music with, is now working on new music. He has taken a huge step in the electronic direction. However, it is quite clear that he also draws on old inspirations from Industrial and progressive rock. From time to time, you can sense our shared computer game past peek through and press the nostalgia buttons. All of this is seasoned with a sense of sublime sound and minimalism, which is completely different from what we are doing. I get happy and teary-eyed every time he posts a new track. For those of you who haven’t heard it, there’s no need to sit and wait anxiously for the next track, as there’s a mix-and-match buffet of gems in there.

- It is with great pleasure that I can officially announce that Mixe68 has been selected as the biggest Goth & Zen fan of the year. Here is a small excerpt from our chat that shows the dedication Mixe68 displays:
[22/02-23:37] <Chris2020> hahaha
[22/02-23:37] <Chris2020> hey bro
[22/02-23:38] <mixe68> Can you read what I write..?
[22/02-23:39] <Chris2020> yep
[22/02-23:40] <Chris2020> Are you doing well, bro?
[22/02-23:40] <mixe68> Oh good... it's acting up a bit..
[22/02-23:40] <Chris2020> you are our biggest fan, you often listen to our music
[22/02-23:42] <mixe68> That’s because it’s world class!!..
[22/02-23:44] <Chris2020> glad you think so
At the time this news was announced, he had 72 plays (tracks listened to in full) on the website.
[11/04-22:03] <mikse68> Jeg er passe stolt men forventer ikke at vile på laverblad! 😍❤️. So, "Where the Ego Goes to Die" has reached one hundred plays. It's the first finished track to achieve this. About 90 of those plays were probably by Goth and myself😀. But it definitely calls for a celebration anyway😁.
[08/04-19:57] <Chris2020> Quite a lot has happened since then. Now it’s almost at 150 plays. It really is a very cool track. But remember to listen to the music in the WIP section. There, you can follow along as the music is created and evolves :-)Now you can keep up with updates from us. We try to keep you up to date with what’s happening with our music and here on the site. Sometimes we develop features that no one sees. This is where we will announce those kinds of things. Likewise, we plan to offer merch to people over time. We will also announce when additions or changes to our music are uploaded.
