02. “The Scumbag Grift”
03. “Midnight Ghost”
04. “I Got Tunnel Vision”
05. “Let It Ride”

Vocalist Nuno Pereira said the following:

“This record, and the process of recording it, are both a testament to and a celebration of the firepower and dedication our band has for our music. It has vitriolic energy behind every vocal, soaring guitars relentlessly shredding, and that sinister tongue-in-cheek shit we specialize in. This will go down as our best work to date. Guaranteed.”

Guitarist/vocalist Trevor Reilly added:

“Our last album was more personal and earnestly poetic in our way, so the only place to go next lyrically was back down in the gutter where we thrive. We embraced our dark side on this one. Dove into sociopathy, personality disorders, concepts of evil, nature vs nurture… There are no good guys here.”

A video for the effort’s first single, “Midnight Ghost,” can be found below. Guitarist Ben Murray commented on that track:

“‘Midnight Ghost’ is definitely one of my favorite songs off the upcoming record. It has a darker mood while still hitting listeners with tons of intensity and energy. We all wrote this one together in Trevor’s studio, trading riffs and ideas naturally — it really captures the spirit of the record.”
