Phil Sgrosso comments: "The initial idea to create a deluxe version stemmed from leftover material written for the Shaped By Fire album. Some of it was re-purposed for b-sides and several tracks were used for the live show exclusively, until now.
More recently we had an interest to recreate 'My Own Grave' into a more stripped-down/orchestral version inspired by the 90’s "Unplugged" era that we all grew up with. We also became interested in a new version for 'Redefined', incorporating a more heavy electronic element. The live versions for 'Blinded' and 'My Own Grave' were captured on our last European tour in Munich, which was one of our biggest and high-energy shows to date.
For the first time ever, we’ve released an instrumental album version to showcase the musical aspect. Just like when we’re writing initial demos, the music is step one in captivating the listener’s attention so the intricacies and details of the music are a little more prevalent here.
It was a fun experience to breathe some new life back into Shaped By Fire. We’re all very proud of this album and are always encouraged by our fans’ support and enthusiasm for new AILD music over the past 20 years."

"MY OWN GRAVE" LYRICS
the lies, the weight, deceit, decay
the lies, the weight
it’s clear i lost my way
deceit, decay
decomposing
i thought i was an architect but i was just moving dirt
stacking mud over malice covered-up forming nothing but a pile of hurt
i hadn’t been building (building)
the time was spent digging (digging)
boring the barriers that kept others away (away)
the deeper the walls the less anyone could hear (hear me) fall
so now i know there is no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there's no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
inside of my own grave
beneath my lies
delusional enough to think i’d designed something great
like a giant headstone inscribed to describe my shameful fate
i hadn’t been building (building)
the time was spent digging (digging)
an ugly truth from which there was no way to escape (escape)
nowhere left to hide and then finally forced to face what i’d become
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
and there's no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
what i’d become
buried alive inside my own grave
beneath my pride crushing me
beneath my lies collapsing
but we are still alive
we are still alive
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there's no one else to blame
buried alive inside of my own grave
MY OWN GRAVE
buried alive inside of my own grave
and there's no one else to blame
the lies and the weight, i know i lost my way (my way)
what i’d become
buried alive inside of my own grave (my grave)
and there's no one else to blame
buried alive… buried alive
finally forced to face what i’d become
what i’d become in my own grave (buried)
in my own grave (alive)
