Tarvos (commentary) Lyrics

"Tarvos" also changed quite a bit between the first demo and the
Album version. Also here, we really had to thin it out. Especially
The chorus was, uh, rather clusterfuck-y if you wanna say
But yeah, the song originally started as a simple, very harmonic
Mellow death metal neckbreaker, and this is what we first got

The pre-chorus in this demo is still somewhat different than in the

Album version. I was never really happy with it. Uh, shortly before

We entered Jens Bogren′s Fascination Street Studios, Simme, our

Former guitar player, uh, came up with a cool idea for that part

And it made it on the album eventually. Also, the chorus is rather

Different here. It still contains this choir, um, the choir melody

You could hear before in the very first recording of "Tarvos"

Being played on the lead guitars. To be honest, I still think it's

A nice melody as well as a nice idea, but in the end, it just really

Was too much altogether. So we skipped the choir. And then there′s

This rather unusual instrumental/narration part. I remember Jens

Being stoked about the sound of the lead guitar playing in it. Um
Yeah, we meddled with the amps for quite a while. In the album
Version, you can also hear this narration in this part that has
Not been, uh, created here in the demo version at this point
I just, uh, spontaneously recorded it in the studio, and uh, yeah
I tried out different voices and I tried to be theatrical. And yeah
What you can hear on the album is the version we, uh, eventually
Went for and I remember Jens Bogren calling it the "End Time Preacher
" Version. That was it, yeah. Yeah, um, we're pretty happy with the
Outcome of that song, after all. I think it turned out really cool
