In an interview with Louder Sound, Bassist youth says “It is our privilege to Honour The Fire and celebrate the white heat purification by sound,” says bassist Youth. “Join with us in a fearless leap through the sacred flames, into the unknown. Let’s create the future we all desire, by sonically destroying the one we don’t.” “The fire in our hearts that has sustained and protected us for over 40 years, never goes out,” says Jaz Coleman, the band’s frontman.

These 10 remastered original tracks plus 8 extra bonus tracks (produced by the band and Tom Dalgety, whose credits include the hugely successful Royal Blood album) are very much music as ritual”
