Finnish symphonic doom/death metal band DEPRESSED MODE released a new single, “Dead & Living.” This single was suppose to be part of the “Words of Death” EP, which was already recorded but was unfortunately destroyed because of hardware failure. So, this brand new single and earlier released re-recorded version of “Suffer in Darkness” are the only tracks to survive from the planned EP.

Otto Salonen comments: “This is a new song, which was composed right after our ‘Decade of Silence’ album. It was quite different from our previous songs, so I was a bit insecure about how it’s going to sound, but after drum recordings by Marko Tommila, I was sure it’s going to be loved by fans worldwide!
“Due to hardware failure, this is it for our ‘Words of Death’ EP. In other words, all the remaining songs were destroyed and won’t be released.”
