Bassist Alex Wedster comments:
We always try to make our music aggressive, but where an album like A Skeletal Domain [2014] was definitely aggressive, it has a targeted refinement that the new album doesn’t. Red Before Black is as well executed as anything we’ve done, but it has a rawness to it that we haven’t had in a long time.
Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz adds:
We really worked super hard crafting these songs, practicing them, and getting them where we wanted to be more so than on any of our previous albums. And, as Alex said, musically I think it’s the most raw sound we’ve had — and at the same time I think it’s our most focused, tightest and catchiest record.
