The 7-minute “Lucifer Stand” features “menacing synths”[3] and a “pulsing, new-wave” energy “which reiterates, in a slightly different method, the ominous gothic overtones of What’s Tonight To Eternity’s melancholic commentary on the loss of love in its many forms.”[7] The song “marinates in evil”,[3] and ends with “a spoken-word sample of religious testimony, a woman describes finding herself abandoned by Jesus, stuck in a kind of purgatory where she can neither live nor die. Fed up, she resolves to reject Satan, even if that means being cast into the ether. “I would rather spend eternity in nothing,” she declares, “than to spend eternity with you.””[4] Flegel spoke of the source & purpose of the recording in a Reddit AMA:
The spoken part of Lucifer Stand is from a video testimonial, a testimony is a public declaration of a persons revelation or spiritual awakening/turning point. I’ve had experiences that mirror what she is saying, so I could empathize with her sense of this spiritual warfare / circling spiritual attack, while to an outsider her just being alone at home in her living room. This scene taps into the limits/potentials of our reality
This is haunting, memorable, outstanding.
