Enough is Never Enough



In April 2013 we were approached by the organisers of the Explore the North festival in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. They asked if we would use some footage of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour), the world's biggest ice skating race, and write some songs around it. So we did.

Lost in the Darkness of Grief

“Loops of Infinity” is a dark, unrelenting dive into the endless cycles of pain, isolation, and futility. With raw honesty and cosmic imagery, the song captures the feeling of being trapped in patterns you can’t escape, like black holes pulling the soul into silence. From the searing admission of being unseen and unheard, to the furious outcry of throwing in the wrench, it’s both a confession and a rebellion. At its core, “Loops of Infinity” is a haunting reflection on despair that refuses to be silenced, a voice echoing through eternity, daring anyone to listen.
