The band comments on the making of the album:
“The album was written in about two years. At some point we took a short break from touring and really took time for song writing and pre-production. Taking that time worked out really well and we are extremely happy with the results! We managed to unify our sound and take things a bit further musically. Even if the record is mostly about fast and aggressive playing, we do have an acoustic surprise on the record as well. The final mix by Saku Moilanen really took the songs to the next level and they sound exactly what we had hoped for.”
Guitarist Jani Loikkanen comments on the songwriting process:
“Before the album recordings I pretty much wrote songs and recorded demos for a full year with no break. Infinite amount of audiotracks still haunt me in my sleep. But after all that work, only good songs ended up on the album! It’s a privilege to be able to play guitar and write songs in this particular band.”
Vocalist Katri Snellman comments on the lyrics:
“The themes on this album are resistance and change. The lyrics consist of different viewpoints and situations related to the subject. Whether it’s about a political riot or a personal revolution in real life, a change in an individual’s life is guaranteed.”
