"'Embers' was a song we all liked from the start. With simple riffs and dreamlike melodies, the song just got better and better as we went on with the recordings. Finally mr. Fredrik Norrman added his personal touch and the song was perfect. It's also the first Hanging Garden song without any aggressive vocals," comments Hanging Garden's Jussi Hämäläinen the song.

Alexander Dietz of Heaven Shall Burn, who was responsible for the mastering of 'Blackout Whiteout' about the new album : "Sometimes something is sent to you to finish up that is so good that you have no words to describe. if you work on a lot of music then surely not every album you put your work on makes it to your permanent playlist... Right now I am in exactly that situation that I have the opportunity to work on material that absolutely blew my mind and is already on my iPod. this happens not every month. I can't wait till people get a chance to hear a masterpiece by this Finnish band... Check them out.."

Nino Hynninen about the video concept: "We had already a couple of years ago the idea of using acrobatics or dance as a narrative element in a music video. The idea about collaboration on 'Embers' with the talented circus artist Juho Sarno arose during the recordings and you can really feel the emotion, spirit and force he's conveying in communication with fire and embers."

'Blackout Whiteout' contains guest appearances by Ville Sorvali (Moonsorrow) and Fredrik Norrman (October Tide, ex-Katatonia).

'Blackout Whiteout' will be released on CD and as limited vinyl edition.
