Further details about ‘The Battle at Garden’s Gate’ are yet to be revealed, however the quartet have revealed the simple yet striking artwork, which looks like this:
Singer Josh Kiszka said of 'The Battle at Garden's Gate: "It's very dynamic, lyrically speaking. And that's the human experience. It's much more than pain or fear; it's also beauty. People need people, and love is important.
"There was a lot of self-evolution happening during the writing of this album that was prompted by experiences I had, experiences we all had, so a lot of contemplation occurred."
Josh's twin brother, guitarist Jake Kiszka adds: "It's reflecting a lot of the world that we've seen, and I think that it's reflecting a lot of personal truth. What Josh does very well with the lyrics is telling ancient tales with a contemporary application."
