This week’s Diamond Cast dives into Dark Anthems — our upcoming EP dropping this October! We reveal a brand-new song, “A Secret,” the official release date, and details about our collaboration with The Birthday Massacre, who have remixed Fall Into The Silence exclusively for the EP.
We also talk about the Dark Anthems artwork, chat about Halloween in the UK, and share some of our favourite horror films — including a deep dive into The Thing and why it’s misunderstood. Plus, we answer fan questions about surviving a zombie apocalypse, pre-show rituals, and Adam’s unexpected Rocky Horror Picture Show cover version.
