Theme
When asked to describe the album, vocalist A.A. Nemtheanga remarked "this is the 'death' album. Plain and simple." Averill explained that, while Redemption At The Puritan's Hand is not a concept album, "many of the themes deal with mortality [and] how we deal with it. The spiritual structures we place around us to make sense of it. Sex, death, procreation and god. As we get older our relationship to our lives changes, the realization you will not live forever, the grand plan you hoped to uncover never materializes, food for worms and nothing more."
Averill used this theme to mount a critique of religious belief, and particularly the notion of spiritual redemption:
We all seek redemption in one way or another, from lies or from truth. Those of us who are godless or faithless often envy the man of faith for his life seems to have an extra purpose, despite the fact that logic, pragmatism, science and realism should crush any sign of faith, we still persist in lying to ourselves. Perhaps the alternative is too much to bear. So the themes of religion, mortality and death occur over and over again, along with continuing themes of alienation, martyrdom, sacrifice, violence and retribution.
