OHHHH LADIES. CARAMEL IS THE NAME OF THE NEXT SONG, WITH CLEAR CONNECTIONS TO THE ORIGINAL SONG SUGAR FROM THE SIMPLE WORDPLAY TO HAVING THE NEW SINGLES BANNER HIDDEN IN SUGAR ON SPOTIFY!!! MY FAVORITE SONG IS GETTING A SISTERRR
I’m so so so excited to see how the writer is going to incorporate that obsessive, grotesque but delicious language into the new era of rebirth and war with Sleep. The original song is such a gut punch, with (say it with me now) Vessel practically vomiting the lyrics out in a mental spiral as the obsession with Sleep (and vice versa) spirals out of control.
How has Vessel’s intense obsession changed with so much time passing? Caramel is the result of a long period of heating up sugar, slowly cooking it to the point where it burns and becomes something new (just like this entire album is about him becoming someone new.)
DONT EVEN GET ME STAAARTED on the Morningstar, such a brutish weapon that bludgeons AND stabs to represent Caramel as a song. Such a soft gentle name combined with something so brutal has got to make for an interesting song. Maybe about how his love has been turned to something new, obsession honed into a fine tuned weapon that he uses to crush the skulls of Sleep’s monsters and puppets.
Not to mention Emergence’s B side on the vinyl being that beautiful piano sheet music they teased ALONG WITH THE SOUNDS OF SWORDS AND FIGHTING. Ouuuugh we are at WAR like proper war and I am so so excited for this development in a METAL BAND ALBUM THATS SO COOL!!
Also. Vessel I know you’re just an oath breaker paladin you can’t hide from me, you can’t hide your love for dungeons and dragons.
