Vocalist, Dan O’Grady comments on the new single; “The song is about the Mother and Baby home in Tuam where the bodies of all the children were found in the septic tank. When that story broke, it made me so sick and so angry that the lyrics just poured out of me. It was also, around the time that we were writing the music for this dark, ominous song.
Danny had brought in these punishing riffs that were a little different than he had been writing up to that point, and the lyrics just fit the tone of the music so well, that it came together really quickly after that.”
