Vocalist/guitarist Rob Cook via Decibel Magazine:
“This album is the culmination of ten years together with this lineup and persistence in the face of various setbacks and delays. The songs and music came easily but the logistics and life distractions did not. Fans of our last album, Trembling and Shorn, will find that we continue in a similar direction with more precision and ambition, but still retaining the raw, organic feel of Shabti.
“Though most of the songs have more than one meaning, some of them are more directly drawn from my personal experience and personal experiences of the people around me than songs I have written in the past. After toiling in the underground for years and years, it was very important to me to get this album right, and I am proud of what we have accomplished.”
