This 2023 release is a concept album that sees the Australian psych-rockers diving headfirst into thrash metal with conceptual themes of environmental destruction and rebirth. It marked a significant exploration into heavier territory for the band.
- The album was written and recorded during a week-long retreat in the remote Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia.
- It was released on their own independent label, KGLW, following a period of uncertainty about their future on a major label.
- The album's title is a direct reference to the themes of the record, exploring apocalyptic scenarios and mythological rebirth.
