Background
edit
The album's name is a quote from Macbeth's line in Chapter 3 of Act 3.[4] At the time of its release in 2011, the album was released only on cassette tapes, and band member Han Sangcheol described the reason why it was released only on cassette tapes as "Our music is divided between likes and dislikes, so we only released it on cassette tape so that people who really want to listen to it can listen to it."[5] The album was subsequently re-released on vinyl in 2015, later on CD and online release.[3]
