About ‘Driven By Death’, drummer and vocalist I. comments: “I was on the way back from a spontaneous adventure, full of music, new connections, and inspiration. A path without a plan and a journey without a goal, with only a very strong feeling that this is where I’m meant to be.

“With a misty horizon of endless asphalt before me. A large tree at the edge of the road, in the corner of my eye, screaming that this could just be the end. But what I felt wasn’t fear, it was happiness. With the thought that if I crash into that tree now, I won’t care at all. Because up until this moment, I’ve done everything possible, experienced every adventure, and each time, gotten up again and faced life with that gray cloud around my head.

“I have a death wish, so if it happens now, it’s okay, and I’m at peace with it. This was the moment I realized, I’m not afraid of life. I’m driven by death.”

‘Doodswens’ was recorded and produced by Sebastiaan van Bijlevelt at Galloway Studio and mastered by Alex McCullough (who re-mastered Dolly Parton‘s Backwoods Barbie) at True East Mastering
