A new, bold frontier from one of Germany’s most intriguing acts!
Wish to Leave
was recorded from July to November 2020 in Leipzig under the careful eye of
engineer/producer Max Herrmann; V. Santura of Dark Fortress and Triptykon fame
mastered the album. The six songs found herein are interwoven with melody and
darkness with stripped-down guitars and greater emphasis on vocals as well as
the rhythmic aspects of Lunar Shadow, who are completed by vocalist Robert
Röttig, second guitarist K. Hamacher, bassist S. Hamacher and drummer J.
Zehner. It is an album sure to intrigue and puzzle — while several Lunar Shadow
sonic trademarks remain in place, Wish to Leave represents a new direction
sound borne out of artistic restlessness and ceaseless creativity from Birbaum.
The Wish to
Leave album title is an abstract token of escapism. It describes the vague
longing Birbaum sometimes has — a wish to leave everything behind him, namely,
love and friendship. It is an all-encompassing title, tying together Birbaum’s
idea that Wish to Leave is Lunar Shadow’s “big city album.” Indeed, a lot of
the lyrics were inspired by Birbaum’s late-night walks home in Leipzig — dark
alleys, concrete, the sound of boots clicking against the sidewalk, the gutter,
dirt and broken glass all served as the backdrop for his lyrical ideas. Like
The Smokeless Fires, Wish to Leave explores themes of love and the complexity
of relationships. Acclaimed author Robert E. Howard is again used as
inspiration — his stories The Screaming Skull of Silence and The Striking of
the Gong served as the lyrical foundation for “And Silence Screamed.”
