The band comments:

“Create, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat is more than just the title of our new EP! it’s the cycle we’ve been living. This project marks our first fully self-written and produced body of work since Melanin Punk, and it reflects everything we’ve grown through musically and personally. From love and cancel culture to women empowerment and unapologetic truths! We poured our full selves into this. We’ve experienced major transitions like Matty following his passion for food, welcoming DJ our new drummer into the fold, and going fully independent. Through it all, we kept creating and kept evolving. This EP is a statement of where we are, what we’ve overcome, and where we’re headed. As always, we refuse to be boxed in. We’re artists first. This is our sound, our truth, our cycle.”

We recorded the best album we could at that point. To this day, I often hear from fans who say it’s their favourite BEHEMOTH record.
