“‘Your Dark Desires‘ is about inner struggle and being able to separate inherited angst and self inflicted mental pain – once you’ve learned, you can move on and feel much stronger. The song is motivational and about acceptance.”
Luger added:
“Finally! We can’t wait for that the album to goes out. This means so much to us. Me and Voi put all our effort into making this project like we mention all this time and again thanks to all the guys that made this happen. Hope you will enjoy this single and thanks to all the fans for support and comments. ‘Negative‘ is coming your way soon!!”

“Hi, I’m here to talk a little bit about Act Of Denial‘s new single ‘Slave‘. This song really brings you back to the late 90s and early 2000s, at least that’s what I feel. I was part of the scene, I released the first record with Soilwork in 1998. and this definitely brings me back and it has all trademarks and the bluesy break down, and that’s something what we always had from back then. The chorus is very majestic and super melodic and has 2001 written all over it. Loving this song and I hope you’ll enjoy it too. It’s cool.”

Luger commented:
“We are currently in the studio finishing our debut album ‘Negative‘, including 10 songs. The finished songs are already in the process of mixing in Fredman Studio. Me and Voi decided not to focus on one genre so there will be tunes for every metal fan.
We’re doing this mostly for ourselves and the songs we write are the songs we love to listen at home, hoping they will reach also to other people, as to ourselves. We saw the reaction of the fans, after hearing our ‘Puzzle Heart‘, and we noticed that people like to hear some good old melodic death metal Gothenburg sound from the ’90s, in our days, so we wanted to add ‘Puzzle Heart‘ to our debut album.
Our second single ‘Controlled‘ will be unleashed on September 20th.
What is special in this single is that it features another special guest who contributed to this project, Death‘s Bobby Koelble, a guest who is well known to all metal fans. So stay tuned!”
Voi Cox added:
“We were always influenced by Swedish style and sound when we were kids that’s why it is a big honor to us to have Bjorn from Soilwork on this album, also Fredrik Nordström from Fredman Studio who basically invented that sound. We grew up listening to Soilwork, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and ofc Death, and that’s why we’re so excited that Steve is in this project, too.
So we are very much influenced by those bands but that doesn’t mean that our songs will sound like that and you will hear all that in our debut album.”

Voi and Luger commented:
“This is now just a continuation of what we have been doing all our lives and only now in our ‘older age’ we have done something serious. Of course when it comes to music, at least for us, we wanted to record an album with some of the best musicians in metal music and the ones that we listened to when we were kids.
We are not saying that this is something special what we are doing, but this means a lot to us and basically we are doing this for ourselves and our closest friends first but also for all the metal fans around the world who we hope are going to like our new music. Anybody can do it nowadays and we will support everyone no matter what.
If there wasn’t this COVID pandemic this would have never happened since all of these guys would have been on tour or busy with their own bands. We were playing our whole lives together and we don’t wanna say that the bands we played in before were not good or were good let music fans decide and let our music speak for itself but now this is a completely different story.
When you are getting older you get a better understanding about everything including music and here we are today playing with people who we listen to basically our whole lives.”
