 "Electric shocks enacted, guitar strings stretched properly. The dry knock of bass and drums: it's the beginning of the long journey. A gloomy sound that becomes thicker, more piercing, and the track takes movement; the circularity of a sound that must necessarily reconnect to Godflesh. Like a bridge that unites the new entity Jesu to the God Machine."

 "At first, it was the sound of resignation. Giving up, like, the battle's over, I just want to be cocooned in the womb. I was completely free to make this music I'd been trying to get out for a long time but hadn't really touched on, with pretty melodies and this huge sense of melancholy, sadness, and loss."
