Sweartz recently said of the record: “The album was written and recorded during a dark period in our lives and the creative process was in fact our cure to get back to life after several traumatic events we faced, musically we pushed the boundaries and yet kept the vision started in our debut album »Hollow« (2020). We hope that »Ovdan« will light a candle at the edge of the tunnel for you as it did to us.”
