The album\u00a0was recorded live during a few intense spring days in 2012, at Christoffer Lundquist\u2019s isolated, rural recording studio together with Mathias Old\u00e9n from Logh. It was mixed by Magnus Lindberg, who has also mixed for\u00a0the Deportees,\u00a0Cult Of Luna\u00a0and\u00a0Refused.<\/p>\n

After hearing this first single, I am eager to hear more – it is such a epic R’n’R track with the catchy dual vocals. Victor Nilsson, one of the singers and songwriters from MF\/MB\/ said this about the album,\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe so-called Colossus is MF\/MB\/ itself, as seen through MF\/MB\/’s eyes. A massive great hulk, a giant consisting of equal parts flesh and electronics that never ever had to justify its own existence because we never questioned it. We created this colossus and then let it barge around with no aims or directions. ‘Colossus’ is both self-examination and therapy. It’s coming to terms with ourselves and with the battered beast that’s our band. On Folded, our anger and frustration were directed outward towards all the bastards who didn’t understand. On ‘Colossus,’ we look inward instead, hoping to get answers to all the things we don’t understand”<\/em><\/p>\n
