DOMKRAFT discuss the reissue: "2025 marks the 10-year anniversary of the very first Domkraft release, our self-issued and seltf-titled EP", singer and bass player Martin Wegeland writes. "Only 250 copies were printed that have been sold out for many years. The time felt right to do a re-release and combine the four original tracks with two new and unreleased songs to make it an album experience. We've been on the fence about reissuing the EP as there is a certain beauty to something not being widely available anymore. Yet those songs still make their way into our sets from time to time, so it makes sense for people to be able to get them on physical media. Funny story; the entire original recording was more or less improvised over a weekend. We just had the riffs and a loose idea of how they would fit together, meaning that the different takes on each song could vary from five minutes to fifteen plus. I think the versions that made it are the middle ground ones. To us, it is still a cool release and hard to pigeonhole due to its unhinged nature."

DOMKRAFT comment on the single: "We originally wrote 'The Bane' for the 'Planet of Doom' movie soundtrack", Martin Wegeland explains. "It was the first time that we composed within a pre-determined framework, which was a stimulating challenge. It worked out surprisingly well compared to how we usually structure our songs. It is also one of the heavier tracks that we have ever done. As it was recorded in between 'Flood and Seeds', it has one leg in each album cycle, which I think is quite audible. Plus, this is the very first time that we've ever sung about dragons."
