    Mikael should seriously make the consideration of doing stand-up comedy as a side-career
    His confidence for it is perfect, his jokes are clever and his timing is amazing.

After this performance all I can say is wow. I’m floored by the musicianship and the unison of this band. So dark and haunting yet captivating. I regret not learning of these guys such a long time ago. The lyrics as well, they’re mysterious.

    Silent dance with death.
    Everything is lost.
    Torn by the arrival of Autumn.
    The blink of an eye, you know it's me.
    You keep the dagger close at hand.
    And you saw nothing.
    False love turned to pure hate.
    The wind cried a lamentation,
    before merging with the grey.
    Demon of the fall.
    Gasping for another breath.
    She rose, screaming at closed doors.
    Seductive faint mist forging
    through the cracks in the wall.
    I shan't resist.
    In tears for all of eternity.
    She turned around and faced me for the first time.
    Run away, run away.
    Just one second, and I was left with nothing.
    Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air.
    That day came to an end.
    And she had lost in me, her credence.
