Anhtraxin rumpali Charlie Benante kertoi kappaleesta:
”’Breathing Lightning’ was a song that… I would call it more of an accessible song on the record. It just came out that way. I just had this really nice, pretty intro, and then it built into this song, and it has a really, really catchy chorus. So I like this song a lot. I can probably see this song being in our setlist a lot.”
Basisti Frank Bello on kommentoinut:
”You talk about ’Breathing Lightning’, again, this is one of those big hooks. You just say, ’Wow, man! That should be the biggest song ANTHRAX has ever had.’ It’s got everything you want. The music’s great. The hooks are just enormous in that song.”
Bändin laulaja ja sanoittaja Scott Iann on kertonut kappaleesta:
”Lyrically, it’s another song that was influenced by Stephen King. I hadn’t been there in a while, I feel like, and Stephen King has been such a giant part of my life. His ’Dark Tower’ series is… If I had to pick one thing that I love the most from him, it would be ’The Dark Tower’ books, ’cause there’s seven books, so I don’t have to choose one. The character Roland, it’s just something that stays with me a lot, this character from those books. So I kind of re-entered that world again. ’Cause I wrote [’Lone Justice’] way back when, on the ’Spreading The Disease’ record, which was based on that character, and I decided to re-visit it, because, metaphorically, there’s so many things you could use it for. But then I kind of wrap it up all in this giant ball of this Roland character from ’The Dark Tower’ series, because I just love that world so much. So I’m kind of weaving in and out of reality and fantasy in that song. And ’Breathing Lightning’, of course, is a metaphor for shooting.”
KLAQ -radio päivitti esityksestä:
”Anthrax came into our studios before their concert with Slayer at the El Paso County Coliseum and did an incredible (and very rare) acoustic performance. This is the single from that performance: Breathing Lightning.”
