Background
Andy Marsh, who wrote lyrics for several of the album's songs, named "politics, privatized prisons, environment and the planet, human organ harvesting, the pharmaceutical industry" as key topics.[4] Marsh noted the contribution of the band's new drummer Jesse Beahler: "He gave a lot of really fresh ideas as far as how to push and pull with the verses and incorporate some groove-y elements and breakdowns. He adds this technical, Meshuggah-esque element".[4]
