There I was sitting with Mordread, listening to music on Youtube, him playing Curiosity and me looking up stuff on SCP after we played the game (great idea and SCARY AS HELL, must look into it more — I know I’d never discover such a thing on my own) when I randomly click on a video that piqued my interest. Enter Diablo Swing Orchestra; can you imagine metal with trumpets and some cello ever sounding good? Well it does. A lot. A whole lot. This is a great discovery — once again, chance leads to things much greater than purposefully looking for new music!

Storm Corrosion – Ljudet Innan
Storm Corrosion. I’ve been waiting for this collaboration since I first heard about it a little after PT’s last concert in Athens. Mikael Åkerfeldt & Steven Wilson promised they would be writing some music together which wouldn’t be for the fans at all; they would be making it for themselves. With this album, the trifecta of Grace for Drowning – Heritage – Storm Corrosion is complete. The duo’s work of the previous year has been phenomenal, incredible. Magic. I wonder what would have come out of all this if they had strived to make music for someone other than themselves…
The title of the song is Swedish for “The sound before”.
The sound before… the Greek election results? Doing some Java with the ulterior motive to get on with my life? This crazy love I’ve been waiting to share my all with? Realising that this is the first day of the rest of my life or that the Present is all there is?
The sound before. No more needs to be said.
