Vocalist Phil Bozeman comments:
“‘Prisoner 666’ was the first song we wrote and musically feels like the 2014/2021 Whitechapel morphing back into the 2006-2010 Whitechapel and continuing the 2006-2010 era for the rest of the album. This is the beginning of the narrative of ‘the last living son’ of the Father Of Lies coming to be. Relinquishing his faith, religion, burning the church, and serving Satan, who he believes is his father.”
Guitarist Alex Wade adds:
“It’s got heavy ‘Saw Is The Law’ [from the band’s 2014 Our Endless War full-length] vibes in the opening groove; it’s like we took that song and made it more epic and melodic. The beats per minute are pretty similar to ‘Saw….’“
