International melodic metal project Starbreaker have filmed a music video for the track ‘How Many More Goodbyes’, which can be viewed below.
Starbreaker issued third full-length studio album Dysphoria on January 25th, 2019 through Frontiers Music Srl.
Songwriting sessions for Dysphoria began before frontman Tony Harnell rejoined TNT in 2016, although it was after his October 2017 split from the band that himself and guitarist Magnus Karlsson gathered pace and completed the effort.
Dysphoria was produced by guitarist Magnus Karlsson and frontman Tony Harnell, and mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni.
Tony Harnell discussed Dysphoria’s title, commenting: “The title is simply a reflection of a state of mind and I thought it fit the lyrical theme of the songs. If I tried to summarize the lyrical theme of the album I would say it’s beautifully sad, but infinitely hopeful. Life is always my biggest inspiration. It was an easy album to write lyrically for that reason. There was no writer’s block and the themes are probably pretty obvious. I don’t like to paint too clear a picture for the listener, it’s best to let the words speak to them without guidance.”
Magnus Karlsson spoke in relation to Dysphoria’s musical direction, meanwhile, stating: “Tony’s voice gives me inspiration to write my riffs and melodies. I imagine his voice, so in my head, I visualize the finished songs with great production. The two first albums didn’t take much more than a year from finish to start. This release was made over a much longer period because of our other bands and productions. It’s the first time I worked on an album with breaks in the production. In the end, it came out much better. I’m really happy with the sound on a Starbreaker album. Thanks to Simone Mularoni (DGM) who did a great job with the mix. And Jonni Lightfoot and Anders Köllerfors who really made the songs shine! Tony’s voice sounds better than ever, just amazing! You can have the best songs, best production or fastest guitar solos, but if the vocals aren’t top notch, you have nothing!”
