On the release of the album, vocalist Patrick Glover shares:
“Making Where The Light Begins To Fade was a very new experience for me. It felt like I had to approach songwriting very differently than ever before. This was the first time we had to write and record an album in between heavy touring. This was the first time we tried writing songs with as many people as we could to try and figure out what works or doesn’t work for us. This was the first time we had to leave so many demos that never made it to the finish line behind (something that’s really hard for me to do). And not to say this album doesn’t have a lot of extremely personal moments, but this was the first time I didn’t write an entire record from a place of my own sadness, anger, guilt, or grief. I had to get creative to get some of these songs where they needed to be. I had to make sacrifices for things I could let go and fight for things that I needed to be heard. And it was so constant and physically, mentally, and emotionally draining that I often felt like I had to turn off my feelings and separate myself from the process to focus on writing the best songs I possibly could. Whether or not that’s a good thing, who knows? But I do know that it brought us some of the most versatile and diverse music we’ve ever put out. I do know that it taught us so much about what we do best as a band. And I do know that we wrote some of the best songs we’ve ever written for this record.
I got to touch on a lot of different themes on this one ranging from betrayal, grief, heartbreak, horror, jealously, lust, trauma, and so much more. I’m extremely proud of what I believe is a huge step up in the lyricism, songwriting, and symbolism in some of these songs, and it’s been so sick to see so many people already resonating with the singles we’ve been putting out. Whether you’re looking for diss track style bangers like ‘Love To Hate Me’, ‘Prey For Me’, or ‘Say It To My Face’, heavily personal and emotional stories ripped straight from my life such as ‘Broken Throne’, ‘Close To Closure’, ‘Novocaine’, ‘Pretty Lies’, ‘Retrograde’, or ‘Save Me’, or if you just want something more fun and catchy like ‘Lie Awake’, ‘Teeth’, or ‘Unholy’, I truly think there’s a little something for everyone on this record. So stoked to share this one with you. I’ll see you on the other side.”
