This is a band that is pissed off at the world and it shows right away. The gloomy atmosphere of the song sets the tone of the rest of the album. The album opens with a dramatic ambience before a Been’s bass and drummer Leah Shapiro tear into the bleak expanse of sound. In a fitting tribute, the death of Been’s father led to the rawest, most emotional, and arguably best material the band has ever produced. The recording process functioned as a grieving period, and three years after the tragic loss, BRMC emerged with Specter at the Feast. Since then, the band had been in mourning while working on their 7 th studio album. He was not only the father of the one of the lead vocalists, but Michael was also a mentor to his son’s band. In 2010, Robert Levon Been’s father Michael died of a heart attack during Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s set at Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium.
