While the album’s lyrics and the session notes in the booklet served as two parts of the complete story, ZORNHEYM<\/strong> now deliver the third and final piece of the puzzle with the graphic novel, and you will follow “Dr. Bettelheim”<\/em> from when he is putting the final touches on his statement of intent till the horrific ending of the experiment. As on their debut “Where Hatred Dwells and Darkness Reigns<\/strong>” Zornheym<\/strong>\u00a0have again collaborated with the super talented Finnish artist Anu Saari<\/strong>, who has brought the story to life with her amazing painting skills!<\/span><\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”97293″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]Zornheym<\/strong> about the making of their new EP: “During the pandemic Zorn and Bendler did some live streaming and played acoustic interpretations of some of our songs. When it was time to record \u201cThe Zornheim Sleep Experiment\u201d we decided to record \u201cWhom the Night Brings\u201d as an acoustic version to add as a bonus.<\/em><\/p>\n

The original plan was to release that bonus track when the graphic novel was done. Due to a pregnancy the graphic novel was delayed. Zorn then remembered that Blind Guardian had released an album with acoustic interpretations of some of their songs in the \u201890\u2019s. To reward our patient inmates we felt that we wanted to record a couple of songs, since the graphic novel took longer than expected to finalize. To thank our French fans that gave us an extra warm welcome on the successful French tour last year we decided to record \u201cKeep the Devil Away\u201d in French as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

For \u201cSlumber Comes in Time\u201d we decided to make it in Swedish, since it\u2019s based around an old folk tune that the Vallons brought to Sweden during the 1700\u2019s, and base the whole song around that old folk melody.<\/em>“[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]”The Forgotten Inmates<\/strong>” was recorded at Wing Studios<\/strong>. Mix and mastering by Sverker Widgren<\/strong>. The EP was produced by Sverker Widgren<\/strong> & Zorn<\/strong>. Artwork by Anu Saari<\/strong>. And now it’s time to sit down in your favourite chair and accompany Zornheym<\/strong> into the depths of the asylum![\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1696198454168{margin-bottom: -1px !important;border-bottom-width: -1px !important;padding-bottom: -1px !important;}”]Comic “<\/span>The Zornheim Sleep Experiment<\/strong>” and EP “The Forgotten Inmates<\/strong>“:<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]
