Vocalist and songwriter Coroner explains:
“With this release, we wanted to bring the band and its essence into the contemporary. The sort of space-themed EP makes a lot more sense now than we initially thought it would. The infinite dimensions of space and its vast darkness that has always been there and always will be. It’s not so much a science fiction theme as a modern take on this insane cosmic thing we’re all part of. One late night, I saw a film called A Journey to the End of Time by Melodysheep on YouTube. The ending quote, leaves you in a lingering state of mind: ‘At the end of the universe, nothing happens, and it keeps not happening, forever.’ Out of that mental state, the new material started taking shape.”
The Damage EP brings The Dead And Living up to date and into an unknown future. After ten years of wallowing in 19th-century decadence, the band takes one giant leap into the future and beyond.

The Dead And Living was founded on a Sunday in Karlstad, Sweden in 2007. Their debut album Decadance and its follow up The Last Men Standing were both recognised among the best albums of 2010 and 2013. During their first decennium, The Dead And Living have toured throughout Scandinavia and Europe, with stops at Sweden Rock Festival, Arvikafestivalen, Peace And Love, and Putte I Parken. The band have also toured in support of Deathstars, Chrome Division and Marky Ramones Blitzkrieg. In 2019 the band’s third full-length-album, The Author’s Curse, was financed in less than 24 hours via Kickstarter.
