Fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride: this track will immediately get you from the first note to the last! “Retreat Into Dreamland” is about struggling with our inner demons and fear…
The band comments about “Retreat Into Dreamland”: “The nightmare is alive during the day and this person is seeking some kind of shelter at night in her dreams, because when we are asleep we are not forced to face the pain and the fear of our struggles. Fear is an important element in this song like a conscious entity, and the lyrics mirror the conversation between the person and the fear itself. This song has been chosen as the first single of the album for a specific reason: it contains all the various elements of our signature ways of musical expression within one song, in a compact form. It has clean and harsh female vocals, male growls, fast shredding themes, heavy headbanger stuff, a guitar solo, a keyboard solo, a twin solo, and all of this crowned with a memorable chorus melody. This song is an adrenaline bomb from start to finish and with it’s ferocious pace, it ignites very intense emotions within us and the listeners as well from the first note to the last.”
ESPERFALL’s music is infused with the melodic and versatile, yet dark and tight elements of the Northern Metal genre. This musical composition is made even more exciting with the combination of clean and harsh female vocals, complemented by male growls.
The themes of their songs revolve mainly around various emotional and mental struggles, and how overcoming these challenges through great effort can make us grow and prosper in the long run.
