The title DAMNUM is Latin for 'loss', which fits many of the lyrical themes explored on the album. "The band experienced a lot of death within our personal lives, and it colored the album," explains Burgess. For McShane, centering his lyrics on processing sadness, anger, grief, and loneliness, his intention is that some people might take solace in the words and use them as a resource to cope with their own experiences. "We all experienced something over these past couple of years that took a lot out of us emotionally, and as musicians, we tend to turn to our art to process those emotions. Throughout the album, there are many metaphors for mental health and my hope with these lyrics is to have them be relatable to listeners and show them that they're not alone when they're experiencing the gamut of negative emotions - someone else is out there feeling the same way. Facing some things about my experiences in life and in music over the past few years brought me to a few very intense moments of reflection and emotional overload and getting through those moments was often much harder than anticipated."

As progenitors of some of the most inventive, uninhibited, dynamic music ever recorded, LA's Intronaut are a force to be reckoned with. These traits are expanded ever further on sixth full-length 'Fluid Existential Inversions', which features the most dramatic and epic sounds of their career.

Once again recorded with Josh Newell (Intronaut, Night Demon), the band also integrated keyboards for the first time, taking their love of mellotron and analog synths and making them a part of the Intronaut sound. When it came to mixing the record, the band called on Kurt Ballou (Converge, High on Fire), which resulted in a unique finished product that stands apart from their catalogue. The album is rife with striking contrasts, songs that veer from the punishingly violent to the achingly beautiful, often in seemingly jarring fashion, but there is very much a method to their madness, and dig a little deeper and everything makes sense.

Any band that has earned an army of devout followers through dropping eight killer full-lengths - and touring their collective ass off for eighteen years - could perhaps be forgiven for thinking they could take it easy as they wade into their ninth release. But that's just not The Black Dahlia Murder's style - the Michigan quintet continue to push themselves to new heights, creating searing melodic death metal that is aggressive, emotionally diverse that unquestionably provides a riveting listening experience.
