LINER NOTES
LANGUAGE
The seventh album and the first for Napalm Records, which took them to number 2 in Germany, 53 in Austria and 13 in Switzerland — the highest they had placed anywhere. It arrived either side of a stretch with almost no concerts: in July 2020 they played a drive-in show in the car park of Stuttgart Airport, and in August 2021 they founded their first official fan club, Kissin' Dynamite Pyromaniacs e.V.
Three singles led it: "Not the End of the Road" on 11 August 2021, "What Goes Up" on 22 September and "Good Life" on 2 November. Saltatio Mortis, Charlotte Wessels and Guernica Mancini of Thundermother all sing on "Good Life", and the band gave the 6,000 euros it earned to a charity for children with cancer in Tübingen.
From December 2022 into January 2023 they headlined a German tour with Dynazty, Formosa and League of Distortion. Avalon released the Japanese edition two days early, on 19 January, as MICP-11671, with the same twelve songs as everywhere else.
