The band's last album, 2014's Broken Crown Halo, is noted for its dark themes, but Scabbia says that doesn't make it a negative album. She tells MetalPR: "Music for us is sort of self-therapy. We push all out feelings, positive and negative in our music. When we wrote the lyrics we were going through illnesses in the family, deaths of loved ones, break ups.

"Although with Broken Crown Hero we went through bad moments, it doesn't mean that it's a negative album. It's more of a way for us to say that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
