“The Way of all Flesh” is the 4th studio album of the band, released in 2008. Like the previous album “From Mars to Sirius”, the cover was drawn by the singer Joe Duplantier.
The “flesh” in the album title is basically representing all living things, and their “way” is life followed inevitably by death. The album therefore discusses the importance of our short passage on planet Earth and the responsibilities that goes with that passage. That is, to be aware of and to live respectfully towards our environment.
