Guitarist/vocalist Rob Cook said of it:
“At first I was not going to use ‘Seven Billion Souls’ as a preview track from our upcoming album due to length, but it is one of my favorite songs to play. The second riff is relatively challenging, and I think some of our Carcass influence shows through a bit there. The song progresses to several minutes of harsh black metal and then to a pummeling outro. Lyrically, it is about the cruelty and vainglory of the human race and its’ inevitable extinction (7.5 Billion Souls has less of a ring to it).”
