Background

The lyrics to "Depravity Favours the Bold" are based on Au Lecteur (To the Reader), a poem by Charles Baudelaire. The song title "...So We Can Die Happy" comes from an interview with a young Syrian boy in which he said ‘If they want to use chemical weapons on us, they should just get on with it. But can they make them smell of bread so at least we can die happy?’ The album cover is a cropped and blackened version of the painting, Dante and Virgil, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau.[5]
