What are the albums about?
Rise was written mid 2019 and is an instrumental album. It was mostly inspired by bands like Alestorm, Arch Enemy and Lamb of God. There is a story to the album but that story has not been revealed yet.
Lyric was written during 2019 and has a variety of different genres in it. Because it is the first album with lyrics, the only thing that really connects the songs, is the fact that they have lyrics.
The first song "Reverse time" is based on the game "Life is Strange" talks about what it would be like to have powers that could manipulate time.
The second song "Rampage" doesn't have much lyrical meaning. Rampage was an older instrumental song that Rane decided to add lyrics to. He didn't want to change the name of the song, so he just came up with a text that would fit the song name "rampage". The lyrics do however connect to the hidden meaning of the Rise album.
The third song "Goodbye" is a Metal cover of a Five-nights-at-Freddys fanmade song by TryHardNinja and Dagames. It's the first time Rane screamed in a song.
The fourth song "All he can do is shout" was made for a school project. The lyrics were written by another student Rane worked with for the project.
The fifth song "Nowhere to go" was inspired by the soundtrack of "Life is Strange: Before the Storm". The band "Daughter" was a core influence for this song.
The last song of the album focuses on a fictional crush Rane had at the time. The name can actually be heard/spotted in the lyrics.
Life is Strange is based on and inspired by the game "Life is Strange".
Life Is Strange is a multiplatform game developed by DONTNOD Entertainment and published by Square Enix. The game follows the 18-year old Maxine Caulfield, a high school senior who learns she has the power to rewind time when she saves her childhood friend, Chloe Price, from being killed.
The album follows the games story and every song is based on the events of every episode (the game is split into 5 episodes). The two extra songs were originally planned to fit the two different endings the player could choose from, but "Bay" turned out to be an extra song that describes a few more things in the plot, while "Pricefield" became an instrumental track inspired by "Max&Chloe", a song from the original soundtrack.
When the writing process for the songs began, it was planned, that every song would have the same structure. The structures ended up changing with the fourth song. Instead of having a little solo at the beginning, the song starts slow and slowly forms into the first verse. After the solo the song continues very experimental with electronical elements. This was easily the hardest part to write because it was challenging to make both metal and EDM fit together so well, but it turned out to be one of Ranes favorite parts of the album.
The fifth song was also very experimental. Instead of a piano and calm vocals, we were now presented with electronic sounds, rapping, metal screams and low tuned guitars. This song was one that you would not expect. At first Rane wasn't sure if the song would really fit the album, but considering the events that happen in-game, the song perfectly captured the chaos. So, he decided to keep it in and it became one of the heaviest songs at the time.
Although Rane is a Metalhead and into modern bands, his father is much more into oldschool rock, so Rane tried to make an album that focused on rock riffs and catchy lyrics. To this day, this is the album his father keeps coming back to.
Although the album was dedicated to his father, Bubble is about Ranes "bubble".
The first two tracks focus on how Rane felt at the time: Chaotic, drained and unfulfilled. The rest of the album is about Rane's image of what a path to success could look like.
This bubble is often referenced in other songs and albums and stands for an ideal world where nothing stands in the way of Rane's success.
The original title for this album was "Lost Within Myself". Rane thought that title would be too corny, so he created a new word using some of the letters.
Taking "Los" from "Lost" and "ith" from "within" he came up with "Losith".
Just like the bubble, Losith is now a reoccurring thing. Though in most cases it is referred to as a sphere. Take the song "Chance" for example: "Haunted by shadows, trapped in a sphere". The song "Lost" actually uses the word in its lyrics: "And trapped in a sphere, a shape that we call Losith and there is no way out of here"
The reason for this are the lyrics of the second song of the album, which is also called Losith. The lyric goes: "Grab it tight and steer out of the Losith sphere".
The Losith sphere is a mental space in which dark thoughts, depression and pessimism originate and linger.
So, being "trapped in a sphere" refers to the idea that there is always a mentals darkness following you around that's dragging you down.
The song "Losith" describes what it is like to be in that space.
The third song "Memento Mori" was inspired by Markipliers and Ethans project "Unus Annus"
The rest of the album continues the trend of talking about topics that brought Rane distress. A perfect counterpart to the Bubble album.
Bubble is the optimistic way of seeing things, Losith is the pessimistic way of seeing things and World of Mine is the reality check that grounds both of those albums and applies them to Ranes current situation.
As the name would suggest, Vlog Volume 1 is a collection of songs that was written specifically for background music in vlogs.
This album features a handful of instrumentals as well.
"Where Do We Walk" was written when Rane moved out of his parents apartment to study in Stuttgart.
Five Nights at Freddy's is an EP based on the video game series "Five Nights at Freddy's".
