" [Marcus Winther-John] and I took a trip to Los Angeles, which we both like a lot, and we had rented a house to have a kind of work camp lyrics-wise. At this point, a lot of the songs were finished but many needed lyrics, so Marcus and I went over there to spend a week in work mode. And we of course expected to have some time off to enjoy some Californian sun as well. That was not the case, however, because it poured down the entire week, and that occasioned that one of the lyrics became ‘California Rain’. And thereby, from a metaphorical perspective, or symbolic, the thing about expectations to something that turns out something else. (…)" – Tim Christensen [my translation from Danish (1:00:22)]

This transcription is of the final album version of “California Rain”, released on the 7th of November 2019 as the first single from the new coming album. This music direction is a further Heavy Metal-turn for the band, and with the bass guitar now in Drop-C tuning, things are getting deeply heavy. Enjoy!
