Cathedral In Flames continue their collaboration with John Fryer on their next track, a hypnotic ballad about coping with pain and death. Gatsby's throbbing bass and Ambra's angelic vocals complement Phil's vocals about the contemporary unlearning of the perception of death and pain through social media.

A narrative music video was also created for the track, showing the band in the abandoned magical corners of Rudolphine’s Prague combined with the mystical hills above the contemporary city. Both sceneries are connected in the image and lyrics of the number 9 in various forms. Nine is the number of fulfilment, closure and completion. It also symbolizes the coming of age and the connection between dimensions and worlds on all levels.

Phil Lee Fall says of the whole thing, "When the song was written, I was having a pretty bad time, and I was taking long night walks through old Prague. Gatsby's tune was playing in my headphones and I suddenly realised that all the people I meet are going to die sooner or later. And that we're all dead. Kind of like The Sixth Sense. And the central chorus final of I see dead people everywhere connected perfectly with that melody."

And Gatsby adds: "When Phil was having his hard time, I was coming out of me with heavy, mid-tempo music too. It's a process through which I release my emotions and put them into notes and arrangements. Release the Pain is a catharsis for our whole band. For me, there is so much emotion in this song that if it doesn't knock you on your back, nothing will. And it doesn't even have to have Nosferatu running around in it!”

lyrics

release the pain
push here and there
i see dead people
everywhere

release the pain
and give me more
dead people everywhere
just another war

release the pain
and count to nine
dead people everywhere
oh so fine

release the pain
and let it grow
dead people everywhere
is all i know

release the pain
and give me more
dead people everywhere
just another war

release the pain
and count to nine
dead people everywhere
everything is fine

release the pain
and let it grow
dead people everywhere
is all i know

release the pain
and count to nine
dead people everywhere
oh so fine

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK

This record is RAW For real, the description tells all. Pulls no punches, says it straight. I appreciate the forthright approach and utter disdain for ambiguity. Just saw them in Vancouver. They did not, so far as I could tell, play even a single track from this record. I believe this is testament to the verity of this EP; singing the words "Twice Her Age" and "Rapist A-List" is probably a hard gamble whilst on the road Nonetheless, this record whips ass and you should pay triple for it asap. hologram_sam
