This is quite easily the darkest album Panopticon has ever recorded. The main reason for this is that this album deals with a very personal subject: social services, or rather, social disservices, and how they have failed the people they are paid to help. I should know. I visited several psychiatrists in the hope that they would help me with my autism, and all they did was give me a bottle of pills, but this isn't about me. Lundr poured his heart and soul into this record. He wanted to make sure that everyone in the metal scene would hear him. This will NOT be an easy album to listen to, for it is both terrifying and heartbreaking, but this is all intentional. The music is dark because the subject it deals with is dark. Lundr's message resonates with each riff, each blast beat, each growl, each scream. The government has failed you. Society has failed you. They care not for your well-being. Your tears mean nothing to them. All they care about is your money.
