Live she performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an internationalfollowing doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonialand ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating,depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will beexposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.If you’ve been on the verge of ending your life, or think about it more often than not, thenyou’re living with a death wish. A heavy feeling, like a gray cloud hovering around you,gasping for breath and blurring your vision. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Except forthose caught in the middle of it. But this album isn’t about giving up. It’s about findingstrength, about someone who regains new energy after facing death. This album isn’t aboutwishing for death, but the death of the wish.Band’s establisher I. talks about the new single “Driven by Death”:“For me, it was on the way back from a spontaneous adventure, full of music, newconnections, and inspiration. A path without a plan and a journey without a goal, with only avery strong feeling that this is where I’m meant to be. With a misty horizon of endlessasphalt before me. A large tree at the edge of the road, in the corner of my eye, screamingthat this could just be the end. But what I felt wasn’t fear, it was happiness. With the thoughtthat if I crash into that tree now, I won’t care at all. Because up until this moment, I’ve doneeverything possible, experienced every adventure, and each time, gotten up again and facedlife with that gray cloud around my head. I have a death wish, so if it happens now, it’s okay,and I’m at peace with it. This was the moment I realized, I’m not afraid of life. I’m driven bydeath.” TRACK LIST:1. Driven by Death2. Verrot3.
