[edit] About
In early July, Converge's official website announced the title of the album, as well as the meaning behind it:
- These days, cowards outnumber the heroes, and the begging souls outweigh the calloused hands of the hardest of workers. Both in life and in art, the lack of passion is sickening, and the lust for complacency is poisonous. This album is the artistic antithesis of that sinking world; a thorn in the side of their beast. It's for those who move mountains one day at a time. It's for those who truly understand sacrifice. In our world of enemies, we will walk alone...
On October 25th, the band posted the album for streaming on Converge's official Myspace page.
