Saahrg says:
"This EP started as a look back at discovering my true name and the process of bringing that to reality. So much goes into changing your name. First the choosing, then the integration with others and the legal paperwork and documentation. It feels overwhelming and I was grateful for every ounce of support I got.
The last song Toxic Apathy was a divergence from the name change concept after hearing the news that Roe vs. Wade was overturned and I couldn't move forward with my own processes without addressing my feelings about this tragedy.
I struggled with health issues during the recording and mixing of these songs. At times I could barely play my guitar due to nerve pain. At times I could barely scream due to abdominal pain. At times I could barely write a word of lyrics due to emotional pain. But here it lies finished and I will always remember the struggle.
All proceeds are temporarily funding the purchase of new gear and merchandise.
