mute track-by-track breakdown…

‘Surreal Love’ features a vast range of influences, many of which are unexpended for the JoeyDiabolic catalogue. John Mellencamp, Billy Joel, Sisters of Mercy, New Kids on the Block, Van Halen, Depeche Mode, The Cars and Genesis are just a few to appear throughout this song… talk about 80’s nostalgia.

‘As Darkness Embraces Light’ conjures the light of Deadmau5 and darkness of Nine Inch Nails all while processed through the lens of ‘Stranger Things’.

Step into and stroll throughout the unsettling atmosphere of ‘I Am The Shadow In Darkness’ …a composition channelling gothic and psychological horror vibes to your inquisitive delight.

‘Son of a Hundred Maniacs’ is inspired by the visuals and soundtrack work explored throughout the multi-dimensional ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’ film series.

Heavily influenced by the writings of My Dying Bride (specifically their work on ‘The Angel & Dark River’), ‘The Current Subsides’ evokes and concludes mute. holly @ deviate pr
