It seems like the whole world is going mad. Social media has polarized society by placing people in different realities based on usage algorithms. Certain politicians are gaming the system for their own enrichment and inflicting maximal damage on the rest of the world. Certain corners of the Christian church have swung so far to the political right that they are now empowering the most anti-Christlike leaders, one of whom is frequently referred to (appropriately so) as a "man of lawlessness" and the "incarnation of the seven deadly sins." A so-called "Board of Peace" has installed this self-proclaimed "President of Peace" as its chair for life, effectively ruling over a section of the Middle East and waging unprovoked wars on its perceived enemies. Under his unilateral control, the greatest military superpower in history is trying to inspire its troops by claiming that their mission is to "light the signal fire" for Armageddon and provoke the return of Christ. What the hell?!

From this perspective, our new song "What Fresh Hell" is about the sense of despair that so many people are feeling when checking the daily news. Nevertheless, we continue to hold out hope that humanity can still be saved. Until then, we weep for the next generation which will have the monumental task of rebuilding the world from the scorched earth which has been left behind for them.
