A surrealist and haunting vision of a dystopia that sounds like some sort of conflation of a Western world blended with a sci-fi future, ‘The Damage Is Done’ is a gripping piece of classic rock that delves into an imagination of the entire worlds walls closing in on you. The Swedish rock duo’s latest single is a foray into a more progressive and conceptual piece of rock music. The electric guitar is brooding, bringing an ominous dread to the soundscape. It’s a track that’s ambitious, with a large scale and ambition to its final piece.
Smoke Spider, hailing from Gothenburg, is the sonic project of Göran Florström (vocalist & lyricist) and Johan Granat
(producer & all instruments). Knowing each other from the heydays of the 90s, Göran and Johan are happy to be re-connecting and letting the creativity flow once again, just as they were simply returning from a journey.
As far as ambitious and opulent hard rock goes, this is one of the most dreary and almost horror esque pieces.
