BalashToth, a collaboration with ex-Casketgarden guitarist Balázs and Japanese Deathmetalvoicer singer, has released a cover of Paradise Lost, which is their first release since last year’s EP “=Equation=” (or in CD version together with the 1 st EP, titled “=Anti-Life / Equation=”).
“I had this plan to cover Mortals Watch the Day from one of my favorite Paradise Lost albums Shades of God in this “What if At the Gates wrote this song?” kind of version in the very early Casketgarden era, but somehow, we just never made it happen. With BalashToth we finally did it. I think we managed to make the song our own and it – in our opinion at least – turned out to be damn good, so this time we didn’t just make the usual YouTube video cover version (as with previous Dismember, The Haunted etc covers), but made it into an official single on Spotify and well-known streaming platforms.”
The project has already started working on the next material, which seems to be shaping into a full album this time and is expected in late autumn.
