Background

In an interview, lead singer Todd Jones said about the record "I think there’s a lot of lyrics about that and just kind of being isolated and stuff, it's definitely not a COVID themed record, but coming out of COVID, just expressing myself lyrically, I think a lot came out and it's just kind of seemed like friendships deteriorated during that time for a lot of people."

Musical style

The album has been described as grindcore,[6] powerviolence,[7] and hardcore punk.

Reception

Every Bridge Burning received positive reviews from music critics. Metal Hammer's Kez Whelan awarded it 3.5 stars and stated "What Every Bridge Burning lacks in depth, it more than makes up for in sheer energy." Max Heilman of Metal Injection said that "Every Bridge Burning shows that the Nails M.O. remains the same: to do as much damage in as little time as possible."
