""Dependence Day" is the first song we wrote in full for this album," explains guitarist/vocalist Tanner Crace. "It's basically about the currently state of the union as I see it. The massive imbalance of power and wealth distribution. It's about how the struggling majority in America are living outside their means racking up debt and how social media advertising plays into that control. You know - how we can get complacent with consumerism and material wants.

"Musically we pretty much improvised the entire song a few years ago and have been playing this one out live for a while now. The structure of the song is a bit different for us and stands out on this album as it's one of the faster/ nastier songs at the beginning, then it goes to full on meditative drone doom that feels very oppressive then uplifting."
