Singled Out: Civil War's First to Fight
. First of all I would like to clarify that I don't really remember that much of how the songs "came to life" during the making of The Killer Angels. It was just one day there when I just realized that we have a finished album. But one of the songs that I remember most (luckily), was the one that turned into "First to Fight" which also became our last teaser-single before the album was released. One day Patrik So after that I got a demo from him with alternative lyrics. At the time it was called "One with the Galaxy", and it had a lovely line with an "invasion of robots and spiders from mars". I just loved that lyrics since I am a bit of a Doctor Who-fan. It was melodic, it had the power I wanted for it. It just felt perfect. So the recordings just went on for the album as usual. But when we were gonna record vocals for "One with the Galaxy" Patrik told that he had re-written the lyrics. It was now about the Polish elite-force G.R.O.M. This made me think over the melodic guitar-part of the song a bit too, to fit the subject, but I didn't have to do much about it. We just took away the melody and made it more "straight in your face". We had now gotten everything done for the song. All that was left was to record the drums. On the demo it was a typical "rammdammadimdimfrafrafrafrafrafratakkatakkatakkaBOOMBOOMding"-introfill on the drums. But we gave Mullback Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
