According to vocalist Haley Roughton, “…Then You Cannot Love Me” serves as a companion piece to their 2025 EP “If You Do Not Fear Me…“:

“We always wanted to release it like that. We wanted a more looming, cynical sound in the first EP and as time went on, we wanted to develop the sound towards something closer to what we want to sound like as a band together. I’m hoping the fans, especially those who have been with us since day one, can see the evolution and how those two connect.”

She also added the following about the conjoining titles, which nod to toxic relationships:

“There’s always some form of power dynamic in really unhealthy relationships. Women are taught from a young age that if a man doesn’t fear losing you, that he doesn’t love you. Men are taught to be nonchalant and not care too much, and so we just grow up with all these wounds that just show up.”

A video for the latest single, “Crucified,” can be found below. Roughton commented on that track as well:

“This song is about someone who is so seductive that they lead you right into temptation. They have you wrapped around their finger, and they know it. You idolize them. You try as hard as you can to resist, but there’s something both painful and pleasurable about their presence, so you give into them and whatever chaos you know they’ll bring.”
