Vocalist Björn Strid commented on their new longplayer: "The title track of this album just might be the pinnacle of this band's musical journey - it sums up everything that we've ever been about and the sometimes risky musical venture that this band embarked on some 20 years ago. To me this song is as close to the heart as it gets."
