JoeyDiabolic comments:
“Ambience in the Stars” was inspired by an Uber ride out to El Mirage, CA, a few months back. Even though there was a super D.I.Y. music festival happening, I was more drawn to walking along the location, exploring the earth and skies. There was this stunningly beautiful and unobstructed sunset on the way back home unlike anything I’ve witnessed before, it had such a mesmerizing vibe emanating. Got home and couldn’t stop thinking about the incredible tapestry of colors in the sky from day to night… that’s what inspired most of the lyrics. Musically, it’s almost a part 2 to “I Am The Shadow in Darkness” though having a bit more of a western twang / tribal sound to it.”
During his cross-country drive from Newburgh, NY to Los Angeles, CA, Diabolic was inspired by experiences during his travels and decided to shake things up – wanted to divulge a musical side of himself usually kept private.
When asked to discuss a bit more about Just Drive, Diabolic had this to say:
“Before I left Newburgh, I finished the Through Soundwaves EPs and Boxset. I’d also been working on the follow-up At The Core of Darkness. ATCOD is a very dark, emotionally-heavy release and I wasn’t quite ready to dive back into that headspace… I ultimately decided to put that on hold.“
“I placed rules on myself on what sort of music it’d have to be based around and to exclude anything related to my more industrial metal sound. It had to be an album that still sounded like me…. just focused more on vibes, more of a stripped-down sound and most importantly… evolve as a songwriter.“
“So yeah, I definitely absorbed music and sounds I heard along the way, but also had a steady diet of Morphine, The Police, America, Tom Waits and The Doors amongst others. It’s a cool detour in my discography and I’m interested in how it’ll be accepted.”
