“For our first ever cover, we wanted to make it count. And what could be more fitting than Roky Erickson, the duke of underground psychedelic rock. To us ‘Stand For The Fire Demon’ feels like a cornerstone of dark psychelia, like a gospel of strange tales and we set out to channel it in our own way. We Craneium-ized the arrangements and instantly felt at home in it. To push it further we brought in Andreas Österlund from I, Captain on guitar, and Lari Oksala from Malamute to add Hammond organ and synthesizers to the mix.” – Joel Kronqvist
“15 years in and not a single cover song. What better way to celebrate our anniversary than treating people to something new and unusual from the band. The hardest part was not finding our own spin on it, but selecting which Roky song to play. The Evil One is definitely a desert island record for me.” – Andreas Kaján
