The Night Flight Orchestra (Soilwork, Arch Enemy) have paid tribute to their fallen bandmate David Andersson with a new single titled “The Sensation“. Andersson, who was also a member of Soilwork, passed away last September.
Speaking of the single, the band offered:
“‘The Sensation‘ is the first in a series of brand new singles being released this year. It carries everything this band is about: glorious riffage, soaring vocals, infectious rhythms and unforgettable melodies. The lyric is also a tribute to the late great David Andersson and the many journeys Björn shared with him.”
As for the video, vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid (also of Soilwork) commented:
“This video shows the rise of a very young female star and the realization of what goes on behind the curtains, when the glitter fades. It shatters her universe but she rises above it in her grand debut in this deliciously tacky game show, where in the end winners are made and losers fade.”
Additionally, the cover art for the single was inspired by a note Andersson left, which read:
“Should anybody be reading this, I want you to know that I now am an astronaut. I’m on my way, somewhere out in space, with the aim of eventually being transformed into a ball of ice, with a tail of fire.”
