• "The EP is a personal journey and a musical gem, and only a glimpse of what is to come. Leif Edling is, indeed, a Doomfather."- METAL WANI, Bruno Medeiros
• "»Never Machine« is four tracks of classic doom metal, as only The Doomfather could craft." - METAL RULES, Aaron Yurkiewicz

Read here what Leif had to say about his four new songs:

"'Never Machine' is the first track on the EP. It is also the very first song that I wrote for THE DOOMSDAY KINGDOM. It starts with a riff à la BLACK SABBATH and takes off into doomier territories with the haunting chorus and the extra heavy outro! I must also mention Marcus Jidell's blitzering solo. First Lips from ANVIL was supposed to come down to the Ghostward studio in Stockholm and do his thing with it, but it should have been too tight for him time-wise because of the ANVIL show in Stockholm the same day. So Marcus did it instead and I totally love it!

'The Sceptre' is the second track on the EP. I've said many things about this song already, so I thought I should mention a couple of things that you don't already know. This is the demo version of it, right?! On the album version, 'The Sceptre' is a bit re-arranged. There's a couple of more harmony guitars added on it as well. We also have some people guesting: In the mid "classical" solo part, we included a mellotron that is played by one of this country's best mello-players, who's name I will disclose later on... Same thing with the long end solo. One of my all time heroes and musical influences was kind enough to put his guitar and stamp on here to make this song very special! Lovely solo, lovely bloke!

'Zodiac City' is my interpretation of "The Zodiac" and what he did in and outside of San Francisco in 1969. I really like this song and alot of people have asked me why it won't be on the album. The simple answer is that I can't have all the EP songs on the album. There is plenty of great stuff on the full length and I can't feature the entire EP there. But it's a cool song, and Niklas does a great job on it. Especially the last chorus sends shivers down the spine!

'The Whispering' is a soft ballad, and one of my favourites", he adds. "Wonderful keys by Dr Carl who creates an epic atmosphere on this track. In the future I can definitely see myself re-do the "Whispering" with a full orchestra or do it live in a basement bar somewhere just with an acoustic guitar..."
