Background/Theme

The 10-track album is an ode to heavy metal, focusing on themes such as personal struggle, mental health battles, and being forced into becoming what society wants a person to be. The single 8, “Earn It 2 Burn It” focuses on the downfalls of chasing the American Dream. 3 The hard work individuals put into their life, only to be defeated by the system adds to the theme of loss. The album seeks to help listeners connect with one another to overcome their struggles. ^[2]

Canadian music correspondent and blogger Eric Alper states “ Written and produced by Reed, the album showcases his signature blend of grit and heart. Produced by Jason Achilles Mezilis, mixed by Evan Rodaniche, and mastered by Gentry Studer, it’s a vivid snapshot of a rock veteran who continues to evolve without losing his edge”. ^[3]
