"Our new track 'Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)' speaks of both regret and restoration - the suffocating guilt of wounds inflicted through one's own malice and inaction, counterpointed by the sweetness of renewal and rebirth. Things that once were dead are seeing new life, and old wounds are transformed into things of beauty. 'Grief Echoes (Golden Scars)' is sonically crushing, sinister, and hypnotic, trailing the lyrics throughout from overwhelming darkness, through contemplation, into cathartic emotional release."
