"I'm thrilled to announce that my debut single, "Demons Within" is out now. The lyrics represent the darker moments of the human experience, that voice in your head that's telling you to doubt yourself, to quit what you love doing, that you're simply not good enough. But it's also about facing those demons and conquering them, and slowly but surely becoming a better version of yourself." - Jonathan Thorpenberg, VEMØD

LYRICS
Demons Within!

The sun don't shine down here at the bottom
So I reach for the surface
I try to swim but my lungs fill with water
And I sink like an anchor

The voice inside it keeps dragging me down
But I won't let it win

They'll never break me
I won't surrender
To all of the demons dwelling inside
No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death
But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy

Demons Within!
Demons Within!

The clouds above me they keep getting darker
And they follow me everywhere
The stories that I have made up in my head
They are a hundred times worse than reality could ever be

The voice inside it keeps dragging me down
But I won't let it win

They'll never break me
I won't surrender
To all of the demons dwelling inside
No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death
But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy

The voice inside it keeps dragging me down
The voice inside it keeps dragging me down
But I can't let it win

They'll never break me
I won't surrender
To all of the demons dwelling inside
No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death
But sometimes my mind is my worst enemy
They'll never break me
I won't surrender
To all of the demons dwelling inside
No I will fight them tooth and nail 'til the death
And at the end I will conquer the demons within
Demons Within!

I'm wide awake and yet I dream
Having nightmares in broad daylight it seems
I hate the sight of my reflection
This old face
The darkness lives within
I feel it spreading like a cancer under my skin
Convincing me I'm still that feckless, stuttering, red-haired boy

I'm wide awake and yet I dream
Having nightmares in broad daylight it seems
I hate the sight of my reflection
This old face
The darkness lives within
I feel it spreading like a cancer under my skin
Convincing me I'm still that feckless, stuttering, red-haired boy

Darkness within growing stronger
It spreads like cancer
Underneath the skin
Stranger's visage
Where my face should be
Taunting me
Awake and yet I dream

The darkness lives within
I feel it spreading like a cancer under my skin
Convincing me I'm still that feckless, stuttering, red-haired boy

The Cynic

I think I’m slowly losing faith in people
Cause everybody trying to save the world
But they do it out of their self-interest
Dying to be heard
My opinions make me feel superior
But I’m not really helping
When all I have to say is this:

What a time to be alive
In a world full of narcissists
For us about to die
Ignorance is bliss

I used to believe we could have it all
Now I find it hard to believe in anything at all
The world’s on fire but I will remain
So coldly indifferent
Nobody survives if we’re all so cynical

I find it hard to believe in something
and it’s easy to hate the world
But it's really an excuse to do nothing and watch it burn
Maybe I’m just cynical
Maybe I’m not really helping
When all I have to say is this:

What a time to be alive
Everything’s turned to f*cking sh*t
For us about to die
Ignorance is bliss

I used to believe we could have it all
Now I find it hard to believe in anything at all
The world’s on fire but I will remain
So coldly indifferent
Nobody survives if we’re all so cynical

What a time to be alive
Everything is fine
But I feel like every single day I get closer to the f*cking edge
I’m gonna be casually observing the apocalypse until we’re dead
The world’s on fire but I remain
So cynical

I used to believe we could have it all
Now I find it hard to believe in anything at all
The world’s on fire but I will remain
So coldly indifferent
Nobody survives if we’re all so cynical

Come Undone

I'm falling apart
I think I'm coming undone
Falling apart
I think I'm coming undone

The enemies without can be defeated
Even though they're a fearsome host
With tooth and nail I'll bring them down
Victory over most
But the enemy within
Is so much more insidious
Planting seeds inside the mind
And they grow throughout the years
Blooming out into self-loathing
Thoughts take on a life of their own

I fear my time has come
I'm too far gone, I'm broken
Dead from the inside out
I'll carry on
Until it all comes to ruin
Until I come undone

I'm falling apart
I think I'm coming undone
Falling apart
I think I'm coming undone

Everywhere I turn I feel surrounded
The weeds have taken root
And the enemy within turns out to be a worthy opponent

I fear my time has come
I'm too far gone, I'm broken
Dead from the inside out
I'll carry on
Until it all comes to ruin
Until I come undone

I'll never yield
To the enemies
Be they from without or within
But I wonder
Am I the antagonist that I try to defeat?

I fear my time has come
I'm too far gone, I'm broken
Dead from the inside out
I'll carry on
Until it all comes to ruin
Until I come undone

I'm falling apart
I think I'm coming undone
Falling apart
I think I'm coming undone

Save Me

Come and see what my shadow has made up this time
I’m a fiend, I’m a malice but I’m doing fine
Even though I know it’s not real
Everything is making me feel
Like I’m waging war against myself

I’ve fought many battles but I may have lost the war
So I’ll try to make peace with my mind
But it won’t give up until it’s defeated me
From the darkness there’s no remedy
Save me

“Here I am and here I shall ever remain”
I tell myself but my words are always in vain
Moments of bliss overshadowed by an endless doubt
It seems the darkness here to stay
It will put up a fight

I’ve fought many battles but I may have lost the war
So I’ll try to make peace with my mind
But it won’t give up until it’s defeated me
From the darkness there’s no remedy
There’s no escape from the thoughts in my head
(There’s something wrong with me, somebody save me)
They´re pulling me under until I’m dead
(There’s something wrong with me, somebody save me)
Save me

Somebody, please rescue me
Oh somebody, please rescue me

I’ve fought many battles but I may have lost the war
So I’ll try to make peace with my mind
But it won’t give up until it’s defeated me
From the darkness there’s no remedy
There’s no escape from the thoughts in my head
(There’s something wrong with me, somebody save me)
They´re pulling me under until I’m dead
(There’s something wrong with me, somebody save me)
Save me

VEMØD - Save Me - Out January 3rd

VEMØD - The Depths (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

VEMØD 2023-08-03 | VEMØD - "The Depths" from the EP "Demons Within" (August 4th, 2023).
Stream & download the EP here: https://nfan.link/demons-within
Pre-Save all our future releases: https://nfan.link/vemod

"Like the other songs from VEMØD, ”The Depths” has a lot to offer. It’s the slowest and most melancholic song on the EP which fits the dark lyrics about self-doubt, anxiety, and being trapped in a negative thought spiral. Still, the very big chorus is in major and is inspired by ”Claire de Lune” by Debussy. It’s a song that goes through many emotions and is a real musical roller coaster." - Jonathan Thorpenberg, VEMØD

LYRICS
Undercurrents from the deep
Pulling me towards the inner circle
I can feel their weight
Dragging me below
Always try to keep my head up high as sunshine turns to rain
But I can't run from my minds hurricane

Sold myself a broken dream
Learn to live in agony

Nothing can save me
From myself
There's no escape from the depths within
I'm going under
I drown in the darkness
But I've come to like the view from the bottom
I see clearly in the dark
Clearly in the dark

Drawn to an elusive light
Forever I will try my best to reach it
But the darkness is overwhelming

I shall remain here in the deep

Nothing can save me
From myself
There's no escape from the depths within
I'm going under
I drown in the darkness
But I've come to like the view from the bottom
I see clearly in the dark

Sold myself a broken dream
But I will try to learn
To live in agony

Fathoms beneath
I will dwell until the end of my days
In the depths
I disappear without a trace

Nothing can save me
From myself
There's no escape from the depths within
I'm going under
I drown in the darkness
But I've come to like the view from the bottom
I see clearly in the dark
Clearly in the dark

Nothing can save me
From myself
There's no escape from the depths within

VEMØD - Broken Crown (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

VEMØD 2023-07-13 | VEMØD - "Broken Crown" from the EP "Demons Within" (August 4th, 2023).
Stream & download the EP here: https://nfan.link/demons-within
Pre-Save all our future releases: https://nfan.link/vemod

"Broken Crown is a song that has a lot to offer. It starts out as a pop song with a reggeaton beat, transitions into an arena rock chorus, and ends up with a shreddy guitar solo.
Having worked as a producer for many genres, this is a collection of the things I like to produce the most, and combining all the elements in a musical way without feeling forced was quite the challenge!" - Jonathan Thorpenberg, VEMØD

LYRICS
They stood in silence
My words echoed the great halls
Their faces revealed
My tales of triumph were only imaginary
They were not real

Look at this kingdom of mine
All that I've accomplished
It was nothing
Just a castle in the sky
Remove the crown from my head
Take it off me
Reveal the freak beneath
The freak beneath

I wear a mask of many faces
But not a single one of them my own
(Not my own)
Behold the great pretender
And bow before his mediocrity

A broken crown upon my head
The dream is already dead
A broken crown upon my head
So out of touch with myself
A broken crown

The sky has already blackened
And the rivers have gone dry
The walls of my fortress finally caved in
It lies in ruins

Look at this kingdom of mine
All that I've accomplished
It was nothing, nothing

I wear a mask of many faces
But not a single one of them my own
(Not my own)
Behold the great pretender
And bow before his mediocrity
A broken crown upon my head

I wear a mask of many faces
But not a single one of them my own
(Not my own)
Behold the great pretender
And bow before his mediocrity

A broken crown upon my head
The dream is already dead
A broken crown upon my head
So out of touch with myself
I wear a broken crown

VEMØD - There Is Nothing // All Is Void #shorts

VEMØD 2023-06-16 | 🪐There Is Nothing // All Is Void is OUT NOW!
It’s the first song that was ever written for VEMØD back in the summer of 2021. The idea for “There is Nothing // All is Void” came as I watched a documentary about the potential of life on other planets and there was a line that said, ”We are essentially an island in the darkness”. That really woke something up in me, not just from a perspective of the universe but also of the self. Sometimes you can feel like an island in the darkness, that you’re all alone in your universe, and I really wanted to highlight that dualism in the lyrics. Musically, it's by far the most progressive song on the EP.

This song was written and produced by myself and recorded, mixed, and mastered by Rob Kukla at Obsidian Recording Studios.

The video was made by Erik Engstrand at ES Music and Calle Thorén at Everway.

LYRICS
I've been contemplating my existence
Will I become a hero or a victim?
In a universe that doesn't really care
Cause I've been feeling like it's out of reach
Separated by a wall that we can't breach
But on our island in the darkness we are kings
We're living in a world of hate
We cry over our outcast state
As we look upon ourselves and curse our fate

A silent whisper
A distant echo
Is there really nothing?

There are no gods above us
There is no higher purpose
We're nothing but a beautiful mistake
Our lives are a prison
But we made it ourselves
An island in the darkness we'll remain
So I ask myself, what are we living for?

We, we turn to heaven but to no avail
It's like we're searching for a holy grail
But it was never even there
And if 60.000 stars disappear within a second
It's only a matter of time before we're gone forever

A silent whisper
A distant echo
Is there really nothing?

There are no gods above us
There is no higher purpose
We're nothing but a beautiful mistake
Our lives are a prison
But it's one that we have made ourselves
An island in the darkness we'll remain
So ask yourselves, what are we living for?

I travelled galaxies and time
To find a different form of life
But at the edge of the void
At the heart of it all there was nothing
Are we the first to exist or the last ones to die?
There is nothing
All is void

There are no gods above us
There is no higher purpose
An island in the darkness
There are no gods above us
There is no higher purpose
We're nothing but a beautiful mistake
Our lives are a prison
But we made it ourselves
An island in the darkness we'll remain
There are no gods above us
There is no higher purpose
We're nothing but a beautiful mistake
Our lives are a prison
But it's one that we have made ourselves
An island in the darkness we'll remain
So ask yourselves
What the fuck are we living for?

"I’m proud to introduce you to VEMØDs 2nd single ”Matriarch”! I went a lot more metal with this one as I wanted to create something that stood in stark contrast to the debut single ”Demons Within”. This one is a lot more fast-paced and riff-based but still has a huge, pop-influenced chorus and a heavy, seriously down-tuned breakdown. Being a guitar guy since childhood, growing up with Yngwie Malmsteen, Jeff Loomis, etc. I decided to put a really shreddy solo in there as well. In short, there’s a lot going on in the 3 minutes and 11 seconds that this song plays. Production-wise, I wanted to bring some more aggression into the mix, so a lot of effort went into getting the production to have more bite than the debut single." - Jonathan Thorpenberg, VEMØD

LYRICS
I was only a boy when I learned
To adapt to the darkness
The cold and the rain
You looked away as you watched me fall
And I never got rid of the pain

I could tear down a mountain
With only my bare hands
But I could not drain the ocean between us
Still I would do anything
If you could be proud of me
So why did you cut me out from your heart?

I reach out for your helping hand
But your fingers were always so cold to the touch
Carve your name into my skin for your approval
But it was never enough

I could tear down a mountain
With only my bare hands
But I could not drain the ocean between us
Still I would do anything
If you could be proud of me
So why did you cut me out from your heart?
I’d carve your name on my skin
Just to show you that I’m good enough
I’d tear my heart from my chest
If only you could have loved me more

Mother, why have you forsaken me?
Matriarch, you cut me off.
Mother, why have you forsaken me?
Matriarch, you cut me off.

I could tear down a mountain
With only my bare hands
But I could not drain the ocean between us
Still I would do anything
If you could be proud of me
So why did you cut me out from your heart?
I’d carve your name on my skin
Just to show you that I’m good enough
I’d tear my heart from my chest
If only you could have loved me more
I have laid you to rest
And there’s no use to dwell on the past
I can’t forgive, won’t forget
I won’t forget that you abandoned me
