Am 17. Oktober veröffentlichen …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead ihr Album ‘IX’. Letzte Woche konntet ihr bereits die ersten Töne der neuen Scheibe mit ‘The Ghost Within’ auf euch wirken lassen, und um euch die Wartezeit zu erleichtern, präsentiert euch die Band heute einen weiteren Track mit dem Titel ‘A Million Random Digits’. Anbei der link:
Die Band äußerte sich wie folgt zum Track:
“A Million Random Digits – the title stolen from a book I found on one of those shelves in a guest house where backpackers are supposed to leave a book when they take one. Fortunately I’m not a backpacker so I’m not obligated to leave anything if I take one – which is also how I got a copy of Balthazar Gracian’s Art of Worldly Wisdom (in it Gracian recommends allowing yourself one vice, and mine is stealing useful things like books). The lyrics were inspired by the Viking series I’d recently watched on the History Channel -actually I watched a pirated copy (yet another vice) because we don’t get the History Channel out here. I felt a sense of connection to the idea of the Northmen being away from family while going a-raiding, similar to being away from family while working on a record – you end up killing about the same amount of people as well.”
