The band had this to say about its newest monitor:
“‘Satan on the Throne’ is the heaviest music on the album, actually displaying off our Sabbath roots mixed with the grinding riff of the refrain. The lyrics are a Kafkaesque lament about being caught in paperwork and simply residing makes you a prisoner of recent civilization. Irrespective of who’s in cost it’s at all times the widespread man who loses.
Michael Denner contributes solo guitar. The collaboration happened from Martin beforehand have labored with him, and he approached him about doing a visitor spot. Denner’s default response was to say no, however this modified shortly as soon as he heard the monitor and was blown away by the music. As we’re all enormous followers of Michael Denner and his work, it’s an unbelievable honor for us to have him enjoying on the music.”
