We started off doing some experiments without any idea where they could lead to. After the first 3-4 tracks, we realized we were onto something new for the band. We were no longer in the 60s-70s zone but more in the 70s-80s. The songs sounded retro-futuristic and surreal but they were also more prog, psychedelic and challenging than ever. In the lyrics, we re-wrote the story of Eden from a surreal, Richard Dawkins-esque, Darwinian point of view. The result was Eden in Reverse\u003c\/em\u003e\".\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHAIL SPIRIT NOIR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an intriguing psychedelic prog metal band, with strong experimental and prog rock influences, recommended for fans of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOranssi Pazuzu\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUlver\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBorknagar\u003c\/strong\u003e, or\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGhost\u003c\/strong\u003e, yet with an identity of its own.
