Stempel, the band’s guitarist comments: “For the last two years I have been indoctrinated by our vocalist to listen to such great bands as High on Fire, Clutch or Kongh. Then there are a few discoveries I’ve made on my own, like Planet of Zeus or Red Fang. I think people will hear those inspirations on the new album. But in the same time we’re making the same music we did before and having a blast while doing it, so we haven’t really lost our old identity. Although I do hope we’ll manage to surprise a few people with the album’s sound which in our opinion is just amazing. The songs sound very live and organic… whatever that means (laughs).”

Suseł, vocals, adds: “Everything in our band is dictated by chance and the title of the new album is no different. To make things funnier, while personally I hate it when bands call their albums the same way as one of their songs, it was me who made this suggestion. ‘The Kindest of Deaths’ is a track that really stands out from the rest and is absolutely overwhelming. When the concept for the cover artwork emerged (which was a perfect match for the title) we knew we made the right choice. The cover itself, designed by Maciej Kamuda, is amazing – totally not our style but yet perfectly reflecting the album’s dynamics. In our opinion the new record will be a great continuation of what we did before. It’s still JDO but we managed to squeeze in a couple of fresh ideas as well which will hopefully result in an engaging listen. And the sound that Stempel mentioned – man, we never sounded better, period (massive thanks go out to Haldor and Satanic Audio). But don’t take our word for it – soon the music will speak for itself…”

The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in Satanic Audio Studio with Haldor Grunberg as a producer.
