We asked our bands about fun facts that not everyone know... today it's time for Sarayasign:
One hidden and unknown detail can be found at the very end of our second album “The Lion’s Road”. Buried beneath the closing moments of the album is a small musical snippet that most listeners never notice — a secret preview of the title track from our upcoming album, set for release in 2027.
Another fun fact that almost nobody knows about is hidden in the intro of “Distant Memories” from our 2022 debut album “Throne Of Gold”.
At the beginning of the track, you can hear a man driving through the night, searching through radio stations and briefly stopping on different songs before ultimately crashing his car. What most people don’t realize is that those fragments playing on the radio are actually original recordings of us — taken directly from two old 24-channel Fostex tapes dating all the way back to 1994, way back when this all started years ago.
Another lesser-known detail is that our drummer, Jesper Lindberg, has also worked behind the scenes as a songwriter for several artists for several years — including the Swedish rock band Smash Into Pieces. Through various songwriting contributions over the years, his work as a songwriter has surpassed more than 80 million streams worldwide and yet somehow he chose to fly under the radar
One of the more frustrating — and almost absurd — moments during the recording process happened right before Peter was about to record his guitar parts. Our brand new audio interface suddenly stopped working, so it was replaced… only for the replacement unit to fail as well almost immediately.
After days of troubleshooting, panic, and thinking we had somehow managed to receive two defective interfaces in a row, we finally discovered that the problem had nothing to do with the hardware at all. The real culprit turned out to be a newly released Windows update from Microsoft that completely broke compatibility and brought the sessions to a halt — until Microsoft pushed out a fix a few days later.
