Background[]
"RADIO TAPOK has previously covered our song The Attack of the Dead Men with the lyrics translated to Russian. It was even released a few days before our version was available.
During our recent concerts in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, RADIO TAPOK made an unannounced surprise appearance on stage and performed the song with us. The unique live performance was recorded in Moscow and has been mixed by Jonas Kjellgren who is also the person behind the mixing and recording of The Great War.
Pär:"It’s a special honour for us to collaborate with RADIO TAPOK. He is a very talented artist and his cover of our song The Attack Of The Dead Men was so well received, that we did not think twice when we decided to invite him on stage to perform the song with us in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The performance was so good that we had no other option than to release this collaboration!" [3]
