Everything Was Beautiful, the band's ninth studio album released in 2022, is intended to be a companion piece to And Nothing Hurt and was created from the same demo sessions as that album.[15] When both album titles are combined, they form the quote "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt", taken from the 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.[16]
