Dee DeEmme commented:
“This record is not all salacious fantasy; there’s a practical side to maintaining any well-run subculture. The album is a collection of lessons learned, from the joy of finding someone who truly gets you to the importance of asking for what you want and preserving a part of yourself in the process.”
Andrew Ragin added:
“Some of us are horror junkies and our favorite movies often serve as the backdrop and inspiration for our songs. Most songs start as a sort of alternate movie score and then we let all of our various influences and interests take hold without gearing towards any specific genre. With a foot planted firmly in the dark and spooky, everyone gets to play with these themes and styles, which makes for an eclectic blend of metal, dark wave, punk, ’90s alternative and even hair metal.”
