The Devil In Faust deliver their hypnotic debut EP, 'Come Apart', on Friday 28th April and today the band have delievred an exclusive track by track breakdown of this superb piece of work, as follows.

Cross Your Heart

"'Cross Your Heart' is about going in and out of relationships and the process of having feelings for someone, then not feeling anything at all. It explores the difficulty of maintaining a relationship and the communication that is required for it to be sustainable. One of our favorites to perform live and the shortest on the EP, making it an easy choice to introduce this record."

Soulmate

"'Soulmate' tells a story. When paired with the music video it displays; confusion, frustration, anger, sadness and exhaustion. These are all feelings that we can relate to throughout friendships, relationships and life goals in general. It's about the pressure on today's youth to meet expectations of others and how failure is not seen as an option. It demonstrates that no matter how attached you can become to someone, they may not feel the same way. There's a man, woman and those in-between for everyone.

"'Soulmate' is the fastest song on the EP and gets listeners attention, making it the single. A catchy vocal melody, loud guitars, biting drums and a grounded bassline make 'Soulmate'. You can watch the video here:



In My Eyes

"'In My Eyes', making decisions is extremely difficult, this can be something simple such as, what type of coffee I'd like to order. Or on the contrary, should I travel the world and book a flight right now. Once deciding, you can reflect on it and learn. If you regret that decision, then learning from it is part of the journey in life.

"Sharing these experiences and talking to someone can be beneficial and this is what the chorus explains during 'In My Eyes'. Dynamically, this song is much quieter and the positive drums and dark lyrics fuse to make something slightly eerie."

Seed

"'Seed' delves into the deep end of the mind and how easy it is to over think situations. Repeating potential outcomes and eventually driving yourself insane as you've not had the opportunity to experience the position you're in before. The repetitive bassline, organ and drums power this song, decorated with smooth guitar solos/licks and vocal harmonies.

The Brit goth rockers were formed in late 2014 and were originally conceived by old school friends Al Pritchard (Vocals/Guitar) and Ben Codd (Drums). The duo soon began to play a number of shows in their local vicinity before releasing their debut video single, 'Dark Places'.



Following the online success of 'Dark Places', The Devil In Faust went on to release further singles during 2015, 'Forsaken' and 'So Clever'. All three singles gained strong support from BBC Introducing.

In 2016, the band continued to perform a glut of shows. Dates with Dani Filth's Devilment and Sinnergod only added further weight to their growing cause and with their live reputation on the rise, TDIF were invited to record in Aarhus, Denmark with Tue Madsen (Moonspell, Meshuggah, Sick Of It All).

They demoed twelve tracks and decided on four choice cuts, which were shaped and carefully crafted to create 'Come Apart'.
