In September 2022, deathcrash recorded their next record at the UK’s most remote studio in the Outer Hebrides. They worked with producer Ric James again, while longtime collaborator and artist Kaye Song also created all of the videos, photographs and design for the album on-site and in response to the environment. Guitarist Matthew Weinberger recalls it being “pretty intense being shut away where you can't really go anywhere. But it had this sense of: this is it. We're giving it everything. This is our focus. We're zoning in.”

The result is a record that is as powerful and potent as it is tender and introspective, with arrangements that manage to feel refined yet detailed and with a deep emotional resonance at the core of the record. Banks’ voice shifts from hushed whispers to guttural screams, one minute tapping into the kind of fragile beauty that artists like Elliott Smith managed so well, on tracks such as ‘Duffy’s’, before unleashing a doom metal growl in thundering unison with the band on ‘Empty Heavy’.
