ABOUT THE ALBUM

AFTER THE RELEASE OF THE ALBUM "PRAISE THE FALLEN", AND THE SUCCESS OF THE CLUB VERSIONS OF "HONOUR", THE FOLLOW-UP RELEASE WAS THE SOLITARY EP. AS WELL AS INCLUDING REMIXES OF THE TITLE TRACK BY VNV NATION, covenant and wumpscut, IT FEATURED THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE VOCAL VERSION OF THE SONG "FORSAKEN" WHICH HAD ONLY EVER BEEN PERFORMED WITH VOCALS AT LIVE SHOWS.

TRIVIA : WUMPSCUT SENT AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF THE TRACK "JOY" AND ASKED THAT VNV ADD THEIR OWN VOCALS TO COMPLETE THE REMIX. THE LYRICS WERE TRANSLATED BY KATHRIN TRIEBEL, WHO ALSO PROVIDED SPOKEN VOCALS IN THE INTRO. THE MAIN VOCALIST ON THE TRACK IS RONAN. "FREUDE" MEANS "JOY" IN GERMAN.
