At the same time as recording their third full-length album, former Catholic chorister and lead vocalist of Black Country rock trio God Damn, Thomas Edward was suspended from his teaching job for destroying bibles. “It really wasn't even that satanic, I felt that little baptized choir boy kick in as I was ‘recycling’ them and said ‘Lord have mercy on me.’ A colleague filmed the whole thing and a member of staff emailed it into the school, pretending to be a put-out parent. I think I saw it as separating the state from religion.” Themes of religion, spirituality, society and politics permeate throughout the album.
