Front man Russ Rankin shares:
“Arriving at our tenth studio album, we recognized that we needed to create something fierce enough to meet this moment in history head-on. We wanted to craft songs that didn’t flinch, songs that could carry the weight, urgency, and aggression of the times we are living through.
A deliberate darkness runs through the record, a moodiness we hoped would coil itself around each track, giving the collection a unified pulse.
We also sought to rethink our prior formulas, experimenting with broader dynamics, letting certain passages breathe, before tightening the screws again. These ebbs and surges allowed us to build tension and impact in ways we hadn’t explored previously.
Our sincere hope is that these songs strike a chord with both the people who’ve been with us for decades, as well as anyone discovering our music for the first time.”
