The band commented:
“‘Chenoo’ is the second song of the album, it’s a completely different from the first self titled track on the album, it’s a devastating track from beginning to end, ‘Chenoo’ is about the evil man-eating ice giants of northern Wabanaki legends. A ‘Chenoo’ was once a human being who either became possessed by an evil spirit or committed a terrible crime (especially cannibalism or withholding food from a starving person), causing his heart to turn to ice. In a few legends a human has been successfully rescued from the frozen heart of a ‘Chenoo’, but usually once a person has been transformed into a ‘Chenoo’, their only escape is death.”
