Suffer in Heaven

Stephen Rutishauser:

Thematically, I think this one’s more about self-empowerment. It’s slightly more reflective on human nature within the individual, as well as within everyone. And sonically, I think it’s probably the more intense of the two. I didn’t initially think that was the case, but after revisiting both albums, I think this one is more cutthroat and ripping.

We’re all pretty nerdy. On our 2018 album, Eternal Nightmare, we started touching more on real experience through a fantasy lens. I think some of that was a big influence from Trevor Strnad from The Black Dahlia Murder. That was his style. So, it was cool to present our ideas from a different point of view and sing about orcs and giants and stuff like that.
