Mainman
Henri Sattler goes a bit in-depth about the musical direction of the new masterpiece 'Passiondale':
"In contradiction to the previous album 'Passiondale' is a lot more extreme and furious also because of the return of Roel Sanders on drums, but still with the typical melodic parts which make the band sound unique among the competition. Roel played on 'Grand Grimoire' and 'Bloody Blasphemy' as well. Albums that were dominated by blast beats, brutal riffing but also many hymnic parts. It seemed the most logical thing to do, to go back to our early sound, so also Danny Servaes who played keyboards on aforementioned albums participated again and added that touch of mystique which made the songs even more special. The grimness of the war is reflected in the songs and the atmosphere creates a feeling of listening to the soundtrack of a war movie."
'Passiondale' is a concept album about the battle of Passendale around the city of the same name in World War I.
