Songfacts®:

  • This is a track from Christian metalcore band Haste The Day's fifth album, Attack of the Wolf King. Guitarists Dave Krysl and Scotty Whelan told the story of the song to AntiMusic: "This song came about because we were having a bit of writer's block one night trying to come up with ideas for a song. We were watching random videos online and all of a sudden we had a spark of inspiration. We just started jamming a riff on a guitar and next thing we know we are writing a super heavy song. We finished the song and took a break to eat some food. While we were eating we were joking about how the song is so heavy that it will probably destroy everyone's CD player when they try and listen to the record. Ironically, we go back to Stephen (Keech, vocalist) 's house to put the finishing touches on the song on his computer, and the song essentially froze the computer and shut the whole thing down (not being saved). We had been joking the whole time about how that was going to happen to people listening to the record, and then it happened to us. The song literally unmanifested itself."
