On transferring over from guitar to vocals, and the only “Aftermath”, Esbach supplied: “I simply needed to lean into it exhausting. Actually, writing the lyrics for this album was simpler for me than writing the music for the three songs that I wrote music for. I would choose a topic, analysis it, and simply kinda dive in. Although it is not one thing I would actually ever achieved earlier than, there was a pure movement to it as soon as I began.
“We wished [‘Aftermath’] to be heard first as a result of it is one of many sooner songs on the album, if not the quickest. We wished that very aggressive Black Dahlia melodic dying steel really feel coming proper at you. Lyrically, it is a few meteor that fucks up the entire planet, however there’s nonetheless folks dwelling. Type of like The Strolling Lifeless, however with no zombies-so you get proper to how folks take care of it. And by the tip, they’re consuming one another.”
