Cemetery Skyline Release “Torn Away (ghostbells Remix)”

Cemetery Skyline Release “Torn Away (ghostbells Remix)”

Nordic gothic supergroup Cemetery Skyline have unveiled “Torn Away (ghostbells remix)”, the second in a series of remixes leading up to the release of Nordic Gothic (Deluxe Edition).

Remixed by U.S. duo ghostbells, the track transforms the original into a darkwave / EBM-infused version, layering in haunting female vocals and a pulsing, club-ready atmosphere.


Reinventing “Torn Away”

Vocalist Mikael Stanne describes the song’s theme as:

“A willful disconnection from everything and everyone—and its eventual ramifications.”

Bassist Victor Brandt adds:

“There’s a pulse in this remix that feels made for dark places and loud nights.”


Nordic Gothic (Deluxe Edition)

The upcoming deluxe edition expands on the acclaimed original release with:
• A full bonus disc of unreleased material
• Semi-acoustic live recordings from New York City
• Multiple remixes, including:
• In Darkness (Kabbel Remix)
• “Torn Away (ghostbells remix)”
• Violent Storm (Gost Remix)

Guitarist Markus Vanhala describes it as:

“The full ‘Nordic Gothic’ saga… unreleased material, live tracks, and something completely different: remixes by outside artists.”


Formats
• Limited 2CD Digipak
• Limited 2LP gatefold vinyl variants
• Digital deluxe edition
