The band commented: “Ezraeel (عزرائیل) or also commonly known as "Azrael", is recognised as the angel of Death across all of the Abrahamic faiths. This is a tribute to the true master of Death, embracing all of its terrifying, yet magnificent attributes.

“The flagellation scene is an inverted take on the Tasu'a and Ashura ceremonies across the Shi'ite Islamic world, which are done in mourning to prophet Mohammad's third descendant, Imam Hussein. The flagellation ceremony in this visual piece is not one of mourning, but rather, celebration - to the true beauty of Death and what it beholds via intentional acts of suffering.

“The intro part of the song is recorded with an acoustic Saaz, an ancient traditional Middle-Eastern instrument, often used in local folk music. As the band embraces its traditional roots, it became inevitable for us to incorporate the sound of our homeland into our art.

“In the same way that, in the 90s, Quorthon from Bathory would start to use their viking roots to revolt against Christianity, we are naturally doing the same by embracing our pre-Islamic roots. Of course, this isn’t done in the absence of the wonderful contortion known as Black Metal.”
