For the album's production "Ensnared" LP was recorded in an unusual manner. First of all, the band members couldn't align all of their schedules for studio time. Resulting in multiple solo sessions to complete the album. The drums aren't midi drums like in most modern metal albums. Instead they are natural acoustic drums with no samples or triggering.
Another fun fact about the making of this album. Almost all of the tracks on "Ensnared" were recorded without the use of pre-production when entering the studio. For example, when drums were tracked, there was no reference for the drummer. No guitars, no music, not even click tracks for tempos. The album was basically recorded by feel. Once their drummer Eric had a few solid takes down, it was time for the strings to come in for tracking. Preston had tracked all guitars and even a lot of the bass work on the album alongside bassist Osha. Vocals were added last, like the icing on an elaborately baked cake. With both Luke and Preston recording the vocal arrangements. By the time everything had come together, it felt as if the album had become its own entity. It seems almost human-like in ways. It's raw, emotional, aggressive and imperfect in its natural state. Humans made this album… Not programs, robots or metronomes. Real people with real instruments. At the end of the day PARADOX RIFT wrote this album to be felt more than to be heard.
Lyrically, this album comes from lots of different inspirations, storytelling, art, metaphor, life experiences, even other songs and music have inspired the wordsmithing. Overall, the lyrics paint a vivid picture as the intense music tells the complex story of how it will leave its audience "Ensnared".
