Bassist Lars Lindén (who is currently still going through cancer treatment) commented: “The fact that we lost 2 members doesn’t really change anything negative for those of us who are left. Petri and I are used to people coming and going and sometimes visions diverge. For my part, I’m glad I’m alive, fighting cancer for nearly 2 years and happy that we could finally take this step, now looking forward to the writing of the next real album.”
Guitarist Petri Kuusito added: “I haven’t thought much about only having three songs left. Of course, it would have been nice to get a whole album out but given the circumstances I am still happy to get out what we have left. I feel that it is music that I can really stand for, I always like to combine melody with aggression and want to capture some kind of feeling, partly with the melodic but also in the more technical and fast more aggressive riffing. I have always thought that quality must come before quantity and then it can sometimes take longer, but sometimes you need a kick in the ass to get going.”
Vocalist Tommie Wahlberg weighed in: “The last 4 years have been rough in many ways, and a lot has happened, both good and bad. It’s going to be really fun to get our songs out now that everything has settled down again. As for the lyrics, it’s about our inner torments and fears, the broken things that we’re constantly working on fixing in order to function. And the inevitable things we must face within ourselves to win. Overall, it’s fun to be back, I hope you like what we have with us.”
