A press release offered more details on the album:

“In an effort to seemingly better understand and treat trauma, addiction, and obsession, a med-tech company called Liminal-Neuro runs psychological tests on various subjects by administering an experimental drug labeled ‘Neuro Veil.’

When these experiments fail, a radiant ancient female entity known as ‘The Veil’ materializes, embodying the subject’s most intimate desires. This manipulative force brings out the worst in her victims and incites unimaginable horror.

Undeterred by ethics, Liminal-Neuro’s lead doctor makes it his mission to find her…”

Vocalist Noah Rich commented:

“‘while(True)’ is our most ambitious and personal release yet. Through the story of a failing medical technology company experimenting with dream manipulation, we explore themes of trauma, addiction, perception, and the unseen forces that shape the way we think. More than anything, this album represents our growth as writers. We challenged ourselves creatively, stopped following expectations, and made the record we truly wanted to make. We can’t wait for people to experience the world of ‘while(True)’ and find their own meaning within it.”

Guitarist Owen Miller continued:

“People will see things happening and choose not to do anything, because it’s easier than taking action. Developments like A.I. data centers deplete natural resources, but nobody seems to care. ‘The Veil’ represents this sort of selfishness. Even though the company Liminal Neuro promises to get rid of your fears and worries and empower you to become the person you want to be, the doctors are merely using everyone just to find ‘The Veil.’”

With this news, the group have also shared a music video for their new song “Swarm.ING_.” Rich added the following about that track:

“This song is about the feeling of something taking over your mind and feeding off of you, only to realize you are the thing that’s been consuming you. When this one started it felt like we tapped into a new, almost nu-metal direction for us, while still keeping that core Glasswaves sound.”
