That was one which means that I actually needed to hammer in as a critique of that as a result of the issues that appear to resonate with folks essentially the most are demise, destruction and all these horrible issues, but it surely’s not taken as a warning or one thing to acknowledge; it’s taken as one thing romantic. The opposite aspect of it’s the literal interpretation.”

“The album is all about my private struggles with drug dependancy and the unhealthy methods I’ve masked my emotions of grief and psychological sickness,” Sgarbossa continues. “I’ve masked all of it with intercourse and substances. It touches on what it means to be an addict and the way it impacts your relationships, what it means to be an addict in love with an addict, so it’s additionally that literal interpretation of what this album is to me — the romance of affliction is what it’s to be in love with wrestle and being intertwined as a lot as attainable.”
