The sextet have a history of writing elaborate story-heavy songs and <em>&#8216;Augeries of Guilt&#8217;<\/em> is no different. Its narrative takes a poignant exploration of &#8220;villains&#8221; killed by those seen as winners, despite their deplorable actions. <em>\u201cThe people in stories that get labeled as heroes are often brutal killers, capable of extreme greed and cruelty on behalf of their allies&#8217; and their desires,&#8221;<\/em> Vocalist David Bello explains. <em>&#8220;This song tries to smudge historical and present-day conflicts with the emotions of loss and vengeance. It&#8217;s about the queasy feeling of rooting for a matador, the unease at the prospect of voting for a president when the lesser-of-two-evils has been enabling genocide, and the dystopia of an AI called Lavender determining its own morality of family annihilation.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Bello&#8217;s thought-provoking lyrics and complemented by an ever-dynamic style with sprawling guitars, and Steven K.
