This remix was brilliantly crafted by the amazing Erik Gustafson of- Adoration Destroyed! His task was to turn my Dark/Downtempo song into a DJ/Dancefloor masterpiece, and he knocked it out of the park!
Erik and I go way back to the days of the 90's Industrial/Goth scene of Austin, Texas! He was in the band Terminal 46 and I was in Tungsten Coil. Our bands ruled that scene back then and I will cherish those memories forever!
I've always wanted to work with Erik again, but the opportunity never revealed itself (until now). This remix marks our first collaboration in a long time, and there's more coming from us soon, so stay tuned...
Here's a quote about this remix directly from Erik Gustafson:
“This was a great opportunity to work with an old friend. Our bands had toured together many years ago, so this was so cool!
While I liked his original song; it has this morose feel and vibe, I was definitely feeling like I could turn this into a Dancefloor/DJ banger and kinda also make it heavier. I feel I nailed those things by adding this “Orgy/The Birthday Massacre” fuzz guitar and some galloping programming and a big beat. I am really happy with how it came out! I think it could find a home on many Spotify Industrial, Dark electro, and even Synthwave/Industrial bass playlists!”

SONG LYRICS:
Take a good look around you
With that fear inside
There's no one around you
No one by your side
It always surrounds you
And you just can't hide
Keep looking around you
Darkness never lies
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's a one-way ticket to the dark side
When the end is upon you
And you've run out of time
It was never about you
That was all in your mind
You'll be looking around you
For some sacred sign
There's nothing to show you
This is the end of the ride
You come into this world alone
Well, you're gonna leave alone
You can try to run, you can try to hide
But time is simply not on your side
The sun may set, the curtain will fall
But in the end, darkness will be all...

I'm a Darkwave /Electronic music solo artist and soundtracks composer.
My circumstances are unique when it
comes to making music. I have a condition called Synesthesia (a neurological condition that enables me to see sound as three-dimensional colors and shapes, as I hear it). I also have a handicap called Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in my right ear. Which basically means I'm half-deaf....more
This is another enjoyable album from a great band. They continue to be quite prolific in their musical efforts and this album delivers the goods! ERIC OBERTO
