Musical style

[edit]

Prior to the album's release, bassist Alex Webster commented that the album's sound was turning out to be more "dark and eerie" than the band's usual output.[12] He also commented that while he believes fans enjoy the band's consistency, the band explores new ground on the album.[13]
