PRESS RELEASE
"Beyond The Shadow's Void" is not only the third single from the new ERADICATOR album "The Paradox", but also the opening track of the thrashers' sixth longplayer. The lyrics of the track were inspired by reports on the significant misdemeanours of famous artists and driven by the question of whether one can still consume the cherished art without hesitation. Long before Jon Schaffer of US metal pioneers ICED EARTH was involved in the storming of the Capitol in January 2021 and Til Lindemann used his position of power to pressure women into sexual acts, the master of morbid horror stories Howard Phillips Lovecraft was already surrounded by obvious xenophobic and anti-Semitic tendencies. The lyrics deal with the moral challenge that a reflective consumer of the art in question must face in this case. The special thing about it is that the lyrics are inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's writing style and choice of words.
ERADICATOR begin the song with an atmospheric rain backdrop, which introduces the melancholic, clean guitar intro. The brute walls of guitars shatter the calm and the storm develops into a pounding headbanger. The anger with which the lyrics are spat at you drives the verses forwards. The patience to experience the approaching chorus is rewarded with a catchy melody and twin guitars with earworm potential. Beyond The Shadow's Void builds up to a furious thrash metal thunderstorm right up to the last note.
The Kraken dethrones the master. For the illustration of this single cover, Bianca Rother used the depiction of the immortal monster god Cthulhu from Lovecraft's stories. The single, as well as the entire album, was mixed/mastered by Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm) and produced together with Seba Stöber.
