Songfacts®:

  • Canadian Christian rockers Thousand Foot Krutch open their sixth studio album, The End Is Where We Begin with a spoken introduction by frontman/songwriter Trevor McNevan. He explained to New Release Tuesday: "The title of the record, despite its personal meanings, had this epic, almost sci-fi ring to it, which got me thinking it might be cool if there was a 'mainframe' type character that would open the album with an introduction and set the pace. I wanted to find a voice that was somewhere between Optimus Prime (Transformers) and Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey, so (co-producer) Aaron Sprinkle and I sat there forever trying to recreate that. In the end, we just ended up using my voice and effecting it like crazy."
