Drummer Mat Piccolotto commented on the new material:

“Over 3 years ago now we released our debut album, which was basically a collection of songs we had written at various stages of the band’s evolution… Some songs were written once the band had found it’s ’sound’, but honestly most of them weren’t… This time we knew exactly what our sound was, and we were all on the same page musically from Day 1, and it really shows.“

“The songs are faster, heavier, better written, more coherent, and unfortunately for all of us much harder to play! There’s more solos, more blasts, more stupid double kicks… everything a killer metal album needs! We definitely challenged ourselves with this album and we can’t wait to release it and get back on tour!”
