”We are very excited to finally have finished this new album. An album that we’ve been working on for over a year now. It’s by far the most challenging record that we have made, but it’s an honest album and I think that you will feel that it is faithful to the legacy of AT THE GATES. We have, through the process of creating it, been true to ourselves and our art. From hearing the first demos that Anders [Björler, guitar] presented to the band last summer, through the extensive stages of songwriting, pre-production, rehearsals, recording and mixing, we now finally got the finished album in our hands. We are very happy to have managed to produce an album that we feel is truly ’us.’ Something we can all stand behind one hundred percent. I can’t wait ’till you all get to hear it!”

Thomas Lindberg antoi hiljattain Noiseylle haastattelun, jossa kommentoi tulevan albumin kirjoittamista seuraavasti:

”With this album, there was really two ways we could go into it. We could be really calculating and go, ’Oh shit, this is really important. People are gonna really expect a lot. This is the most important album we’ve done.’ We could go into that way and overthink everything, and we’re still very meticulous about all the details, of course, but the other way would be just to go wherever the thing takes us. It sounds very cosmic or philosophical, but the music is out there. You just need the fucking medium to get it out to the people.”

”We really just fed off each other during the whole process. I mean, this album has been in all our heads the whole time since we first started working on it. There was always an idea the whole time. A small part, and then we’d say, ’Oh yeah, that’s the whole song. Let’s do that!’ We’re all in the process, and we’re all focused, so when I’d get an idea, it might be too crazy, but these two guys [bassist Jonas Björler and guitarist Anders Björler] can put in the right place.”
