Originally it revolved around two characters, and it was a very American story arc - good guy, bad guy. I had been in the process of writing this concept. The way that it tied into the record for me was that I had wanted to make a concept record. I'm totally down." So we start - there's the four of us on our family couch watching anime on the big screen. I was like, "Dude, this shit is sick! Let's watch this together. I'm sitting there and I start watching some of it with them - some of it's brutal and it's just weird and psychedelic. My kids have never cared two shits about anime whatsoever, but then the pandemic hits and they both get crazy about it. So that kind of stuff just made it feel like you were part of this cool thing. I had Bonded by Blood by Exodus six months in advance. It still had the hi-hat count at the beginning of every song. When we started getting into the metal shit I had Reign in Blood from Slayer three months before the record came out. That was kind of my transition out of and very much a collector's mentality. I had a buddy who was a tape trader and we had all the bootlegs, all the demos, B-sides and imports from all over the world. I got into like the kind of first era of anime - Akira, Macross, Robotech, Space Battleship Yamato. stuff like that.

Filled with gigantic creatures, Game of Thrones-like politicking and betrayal, plus more stabbings and decapitations than brutal death metal albums, it makes total sense as an inspiration point for a metal record. Maybe the most surprising thing about it, though, is that the album inspired by anime, namely the ultra-violent Attack on Titan. It’s heavy as all hell, opening with an insanely intricate 10 minute barn-burner “Slaughter the Martyr,” and it connects the band’s history with what’s happening currently in heavy music.
