Theme[]
Vocalist, Alex Koehler stated that the record holds a specific concept in contrast to their previous albums; "I wanted to make the lyrics based more on a story of a man’s journey from being a selfish tyrant, to being condemned to hell, seeking forgiveness, and salvation. I wasn’t trying to write a religious or spiritual album. I just find the concept of heaven and hell completely fascinating, so it makes it easy to write about."
