This is what band’s drummer Daniel Furnari says about song in track-by-track on AltPress:

I think there comes a time for a lot of us in our early adulthood where we finally realize the world doesn’t exist to serve us as individuals and never did. You spend so much of your childhood being told that you’re special and unique only to discover that ultimately, no one else really cares if you succeed or fail, and no one is going to keep picking you up and pointing you in the right direction when you screw up. Things don’t just work out for everyone, and without that realization, you can easily find yourself being taken advantage of or becoming a spectator to a life you never wished for. “Landmine” is a nihilistic, sarcastic celebration of accepting that conclusion—of throwing your hands in the air and saying, “Where the fuck do we go from here?” This track was born from a handful of riffs that were programmed into a laptop on the plane trip over to Europe when we were about to start our tour with Architects. When we got home and started expanding on those ideas, it became one of the heaviest, most aggressive tracks we’ve written to date. Machine-gun breakdowns, blast beats, a shreddy solo and some big crowd chants.
