What challenges do you face as a band when you release a split EP together with another band? How did it go specifically with your collaboration with BLIGHTBRINGER on your current split EP?
GUYOÐ: It simply means more people and opinions are involved. Theoretically, this can be challenging, but in our case, BLIGHTBRINGER and we were very much aligned. So instead of bickering about details, we experienced a truly enriching collaboration.

You already released an EP at the beginning of 2026, and now this split EP. Will there be another full-length album, or will you concentrate on EPs, singles, and split collaborations in the future to maintain a regular or permanent presence with new material?
GUYOÐ: There was no planned strategy behind releasing the EP and the split this way. We just spontaneously went with what felt right at the moment. Without promising anything, though, our current mindset is to do a full-length album next.

“... they conjure up the bleak vistas of decay, isolation and the pressing awareness of an existence ultimately devoid of all meaning.“ This is an excerpt from the press release for the new EP. What is it like to live your private life when you believe your own existence is worthless and has no meaning?
GUYOÐ: Being aware of that can actually make a few things in life easier to handle and deal with.

Release date: 15th of October, 2026
