Inspiration

The band has stated the record is about change. "It deals with the over-filled human experience in today's silicone world… [it's] our eyes, it is the point between the world outside and the world in our minds," says lead singer Emanuel Ayvas,[2] who has also said he was inspired by a "vision of a two-headed monster."[3]
