Background

After touring constantly for close to a decade, the band took a hiatus and started families. During that time, bass guitarist Adam Russell and the ensemble parted ways with Philip Sneed taking over on bass.[3] However, in 2018, Sneed announced his departure, along with the return of Russell to the band. The group funded their album via PledgeMusic.[3]

Composition

Lead vocalist Dan Marsala states that "Bang Bang" "encompasses the message of the album at large – the idea of the wolves closing in and time running out". The singer goes on to say that "Wolves is a metaphor for time slipping away; how it’s like a pack of wolves closing in."[3]
