The track, and video, are taken from the band's upcoming concert film, Atlantis, which will be released through Silver Lining Music on November 18. The film was recorded in December 2021 at the world-famous Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockhom, Sweden, (where the band had previously hosted a livestream earlier in the year).
Atlantic sees the band - Martin Lopez (drums & percussion), Joel Ekelöf (lead vocals), Lars Enok Åhlund (guitars/piano), Cody Lee Ford (lead guitar) and Oleksii “Zlatoyar” Kobel (bass) working together with an eight-piece orchestra as they reinterpret a host of Soen material and a surprise cover of Slipknot's Snuff.
