Unlocking the Secrets of "Vantablack"
A Resurrected Gem from the Past
Surprisingly, "Vantablack" is not a brand-new composition from TUNGSTEN. In fact, the song has a rich history, dating back to the band's earlier days under the moniker "Strokkur." Guitarist and vocalist Nick Johansson reveals that the track was originally written in 2016, but it was never officially released. With so many new songs being written for their debut album "We Will Rise," the band had simply forgotten about this hidden gem – until now.
A Tribute to a Devoted Fan
It was a chance encounter with a dedicated fan that sparked the band's decision to revisit "Vantablack." Vocalist Mike Andersson explains that a year ago, they played the demo version of the song for Patrick, the president of their official fan site, Tungsten Fans Worldwide. Immediately, Patrick insisted that the band should record a proper version of the track and include it on their next album. Touched by their fan's enthusiasm, the band decided to honor Patrick's request, seeing it as an opportunity to pay homage to the dedicated community that has rallied around TUNGSTEN.
Bringing the Song to Life
With the decision made to revive "Vantablack," the band set out to create a music video that would do justice to the track's captivating sound.
