๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ had embarked on a tour in which they revisited their classics, a process that quickly became tedious for ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ and ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐๐, who then decided to create new music.
๐ค "I think I reacted strongly against the nature of congratulating ourselves and the brazen commercialism of our retrospective tour by wanting to make music that had a more visceral nature. Because of the repetitiveness of the tour, I began to feel disillusioned with our previous songs, and that influenced the tone and sonic palette of the album. I got tired of celebrating ourselves, and wanted to write about the injustice and pain I saw everywhere I looked," says ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐.
It all started with an image, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ found the photo that would become the cover of ๐ต๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐ ๐ด๐ ๐ฎ๐ in a newspaper and became fascinated with the story. The image showed a landscape with glitch effects that had turned human waste into colored stones. "๐ฐ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐," ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ says of the image. "๐ฐ๐'๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐."
For their seventh album, ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ moved away from the process they had already completely mastered. ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ and ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ took the way they wrote songs and, inspired by ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, gave it a 180-degree turn. "I have a boredom problem, so I decided I wouldn't go back to our classic process of creating songs, which always started with three months of making noise in a rehearsal room," ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ recalls.
๐ค "๐บ๐๐๐๐ and I found ourselves in our studio, alone, exactly as it was in the beginning when we made our first demos. That's how we realized that the possibilities in front of us were endless. I remembered what my mentor, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, said to me:
-Are you comfortable with what you're doing?
-Yes, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ , why not?
-Because if you're comfortable you're doing it wrong.

The climate crisis is also very present in the lyrics of the songs. For ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, it's impossible to write about what is happening today and not explore the issue of the climate disaster we are facing.
"๐พ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐."
When ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s frontman is questioned about what gives him hope, it is evident that he is conflicted about it: "๐ฐ๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐," he says. "I'm a fan of ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐, so what strikes me most is how completely absurd our situation is. Maybe I'm not the best person to talk about this because my view of the world is very dark and what we need now is hope. But I don't know how much time we have left. I find hope in the kindness of some individuals, their compassion and altruism, but one individual does not represent the whole world."
It's clear to ๐ด๐๐๐๐ how much his life and personality have been touched by ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐, however, the legendary musician's greatest influence on ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ is not in his music, but in the way he behaves. "๐ซ๐๐๐๐ treated everyone he met with the same dignity, it didn't matter if it was ๐ฉ๐๐๐ or the plumber, everyone was treated with respect. I'm sure he wasn't always like that, especially in his wild years, but he was the ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ I knew and that's what remained of him in my everyday life. Only by being himself he taught me how to be a better person. But I was too arrogant and too drunk to realize what was going on at the time. And even at my most alcohol-addicted time, he always had time for me, and he treated me with kindness."
๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ has been reserved lately, the musician is not someone who likes to show off to the world in public or on social networks as is common nowadays, he sees this as a reaction to a world where everyone is talking, without saying much: "These days it seems like everyone is shouting. It's a cacophony of accepted opinions that are repeated without much critical analysis. So I decide to talk less, so that it really means something and has an impact on those who hear it. For us there is no other option," he concludes.
What does ๐ด๐๐๐๐ want to inspire in society through these songs? "๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐," he reflects. "๐พ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ , ๐๐๐ ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ."✪
