about

With an emphasis on the positive and heavy energy, Among Phantoms show new sides of themselves with the single release ¨Scavengers¨. Music must arouse emotions - and metal can do much more than just be hard-hitting. The single can be considered more of an emotional journey with the song's length of 11 min.
"We wrote the single based on a feeling of being isolated, lonely and wary of the surroundings. As the song took shape, we were also left with a feeling of togetherness and connection to each other, as a reminder that you can achieve a lot together. The song still reflects a dark atmosphere where danger lurks in the shadows with warnings against being alone and the idea that it makes you a vulnerable target." says Mads, who is the guitarist and main songwriter in the band. So eventhough metal can seem gloomy and dangerous, the music also releases a positive energy that is heavy and can arouse enthusiasm and joy.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Don’t ever dread the shadows at night
Wipe down - follow the line
We look out for ourselves keeping hunters at bay
Don’t feed the hungry vultures at night
Break down - only remains
We survive on the death of another one’s prey

Death feels close when you’re alone
Don’t come out here on your own
Or you’ll never be seen again
Out here we all stand for none
Parasites that don’t belong
Are we worthy to remain?

Rely on death from other prey
Defy - give into
The fundamental absence of the light
Take of your blindfold

(Don’t give in)
You will see the light
(Scavengers)
Reveal what is real
(Overcome)
You turn a blind eye
(Scavengers)
And pretend to ignore
(Don’t give in)
You will see the light
(Scavengers)
Reveal what is real
(Leave it all)
You turn a blind eye
(In the dust)


Sleeping here is dangerous
You will then be kept by us
In your downfall we shall rise
Here in solitude you lie
We all need death to survive
We thrive on your demise

Rely on death from other prey
Defy - give into
The fundamental absence of the light
Take of your blindfold

(Don’t give in)
You will see the light
(Scavengers)
Reveal what is real
(Overcome)
You turn a blind eye
(Scavengers)
And pretend to ignore
(Don’t give in)
You will see the light
(Scavengers)
Reveal what is real
(Leave it all)
You turn a blind eye
(In the dust)
And pretend to ignore

Don’t ever dread the shadows at night
Wipe down - follow the line
We look out for ourselves keeping hunters at bay
Don’t feed the hungry vultures at night
Break down - only remains
We survive on the death of another one’s prey

Get in line!

Leeches, hyenas, vultures and men
we are all the same
we are all the same
Scavengers roaming the night
Are we all to blame?

Scavenger
Mankind
In the dust
Confined
Scavengers
Aligned
In the dust
Still blind
Scavengers

Don’t ever dread the dark shades
Wipe down and stick to the line
Keep looking out for ourselves
Prey till the end of all time
Don’t feed the hungry vultures at night
Break down - only remains
We survive on the death of another one’s prey

We survive on the death of another one’s prey
We survive on the death of each other
We survive
We survive
All to blame
All to blame
Forever blinded
