Guitarist Javier Reyes had this to say:
"I think some of the new tracks are some of AAL's strongest and musical material yet and extremely happy with how the album came out. Everyone who took part with this album (Misha Mansoor (Periphery), Adam Getgood (Periphery), Diego Farias (Volumes), and Navene Koperweis) is extremely talented and I think we've done a great job of capturing it onto what is now the third ANIMALS AS LEADERS album.
The band have already been playing one new song live called "Lippincott." Perhaps they will play more on their upcoming headlining tour.
