'Behind the Walls' was the last song that was written for this album. I wanted to create a fast speed/thrash song, with a really insane chorus, but still make it sound like LANCER. The song is very inspired by the German heavy metal bands from the 80's, like Accept and Helloween.

My favorite part of the song is the down tempo bridge after the solos. The thundering drums together with the soaring vocal melodies made the bridge sound very Judas Priest-sque, another band that's a big influence of mine. In the bridge I wanted to create a Judgement Day feeling, and the whole mood blends perfectly together with the terrifying lyrics about God's wrath, hordes of evil angels and rain of fire. The lyrical theme of the song is about the city of Gomorrah, about lust and sin. And the conclusion of it all is that God is a real party killer.

When I write songs, I often try to complete the songs as much as possible before I present them to the band. After that, I either get a thumbs up or a thumbs down. They really liked 'Behind the Walls' and so do I. Emil (�berg, bass) and Sebastian (Pedernera, drums) were most thrilled about the song. Both of them are into more extreme metal, and they really liked the attitude in this song.

When the band listens to my demo recordings, most of the songs are pretty much done, such as the structure, harmonies, melodies and lyrics. When we start to rehearse the songs everyone adds their own personal sound and ideas to the songs, the arrangements and all the details fall into place and the songs start to sound even more LANCER than my demo recordings.

After the songs are finished our producer, Gustav Ydenius, enters the process. He came to listen to our rehearsals and shared his ideas and his touch to the songs. It's always scary to put your work into another person's hands, but it's also fun to see what can be done beyond your own imagination. Since we really trust Gustav it's always nice to have a producer like him involved as much as possible. The production is really cool, straight heavy metal in your face!
