WAR. DEATH. FAMINE. CONQUEST.

The world is fucked. I know it, you know it, not everybody knows it. The vast, vast majority of us won't even try to do anything about it. It's easier to take it day by day and focus on our own main character arc. All we can do, really, is make the best of the time we have with the people we give a fuck about. It doesn't mean we shouldn't observe what's beyond our window and pass judgement indiscriminately.

Maybe I'm being dramatic and it's just one of those societal cycles (so-cycles?) they have. We're just in the shit bit right now. If we're fortunate enough to live long enough then we might see the brighter dawn.

Unlikely. The apocalypse is on the way. The horsemen are coming.

With War, Death, Famine, Conquest we're trying to hold a mirror to the people and things that are contributing to the impending collapse of society; social media, bigotry, greed, corruption, division and hatred. In short, it's an album about dickheads.

Take it as you take it, but the following stuff is intended as a companion piece to the new album. If you read the stories first, then the tune will give you more than you asked for. Or just read it all first and then give the album a listen.
