The guitar solos Doug and I recorded for the original version of this song (ca. 2006) were chaotic and kind of awful. I'm glad I got a redo with this song and am very proud of the solo section.

Invisible Oranges debuted the impending Bergtagen EP's title track. Having had this song bouncing around in my head for 20 years, I am extraordinarily happy to finally have a proper recording of it out in the world. Thanks to everyone involved. www.invisibleoranges.com/bergtagen-be...

For the record - shred solos fucking rule and your "it has no EMOTION" comments make you sound like Rick Beato, whose solos are completely devoid of any human emotion.
