The urgency and sincerity with which the songs are delivered on the Swedes' seventh album belies their status in the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'It's so non-generic and it's not touching anything of this generic hardcore metal digitally produced shit that you can hear by the dozens every hour you look up bands,' \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander\u003c\/strong\u003e says. 'Right at this time, we're actually producing something that has a new sound.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn't fit the usual rock n roll myth that bands are able to stick around for 7 records. The band wanted to focus their efforts on just ten tracks to keep the album short and sweet and the intention clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'We've never done anything like this before and the quality is a big step-up from the things we've made in the past.'
