Uncontrollable desire for love, evil deeds, perplexity, and fighting with thoughts in a religious environment.The themes of the band’s songs often revolve around criticism of religion and different beliefs. All of this is delivered with a slight bit of brashness and humour since 2020 from Turku, Finland with the means of dark melodic death metal.

The band comments:
Leave All Behind started as a raw home demo, that has been in production for a long time, through several changes into a catchy single with the assistance of Turku Rock Academy. The mass is amplified by the church organ, church bells, and synths. The band’s songs also showcase the band’s versatile skills, combining growls with screams with cleans.
