The record is a homegrown project that represents a reaction to their #1 album A Celebration of Endings and a rapid emotional response to the turmoil of the past year. It is the ying to the yang of A Celebration, the other-side-of-a-coin, a before-and-after comparison: their early optimism of 2020 having been brought back to earth with a resounding thud. Its the product of a strange and cruel time in our lives, but one that ultimately reinvigorated Biffy Clyro.
This is a reaction to A Celebration of Endings, says vocalist / guitarist Simon Neil. This album is a real journey, a collision of every thought and emotion weve had over the past eighteen months. There was a real fortitude in A Celebration but in this record were embracing the vulnerabilities of being a band and being a human in this twisted era of our lives. Even the title is the polar opposite. Its asking, do we create these narratives in our own minds to give us some security when none of us know whats waiting for us at the end of the day?
When you lose people that you love deeply and have been a big part of your life, it can make you question every single thing about your own life, he says. Like a lot of creative people, I struggle with dark thoughts. If youre that way inclined you realise youre staring at darkness, but you don’t want to succumb. Those moments dont stop. As the song says, The devil never leaves. Theres never a day where you wake up thinking, I feel great, it wont cross me ever again.
