about

2022 marks the 10 year anniversary of Propane Propane's album 'INDIGO'. The roughly 9 minutes long 'Purple Sun' was recorded during the INDIGO sessions at Boltzmann Brain Studio (2010/2011) but was at the end cut from the final release due to vinyl run-time constraints.

The up until now unreleased track tells of a clan traveling through the country in service of a force and a deity they themselves have chosen to name "the purple sun". By focusing and sacrificing their mental energy and essence to this hidden force they in return get an unspeakable but very real state of being which expands their capacity, strength and resilience in the journey through life.

The 10 year anniversary release contains the track Purple Sun and the demo originally called "Rising Sun". The last track, a calm instrumental, called "Cult Of Börstig" revolves around the pyromaniac family ravaging the Swedish countryside of Börstig during the 60's.

Benjamin Thörnblom - "In the late 1960s a pyromanic family ravaged the Swedish countryside of Börstig, where I live from 1990-2001. Many of the neighbors had been mentally scarred for life from the terror this family inflicted upon the area. Hundreds of innocent animals lost their lives in the fire and smoke because the madness of this family. In the end nobody in the family got prison as there was not enough evidence to prove guilt. During the long-winded trials two of the brothers claimed in opposition to each other to have started the fires. This and the lacking evidence left the court helpless so the brothers and their family walked free in the end, for good.
The events changed Börstig forever, it gave a springboard for paranoia among the villagers and eventually even generational trauma. Safety and trust got ripped out of the core of the area but people tried to go back to a normal life and not live under constant fear but it was very hard. Many waking up in panic during the nights for years to come from small noises or deep embedded fear that another fire could strike again at any given time.

During 2010 under the influence of substances, confusion and paranoia I wrote and recorded a song during roughly one or two days. The result became 'Cult of Börstig' which emotionally revolves around these events. I actually recorded the entire bass track first, standalone, and then did drums. Later I tracked the guitars and recorded deranged whispers and a bunch of hidden shit.. It got pretty layer in the end."

Original sound, ideas and riffage. Add great vocals and perfect musicianship and you get one hell of an album. These guys are going to be 'zeppelin' big soon. Very Metal
