On the song Abandoned, Gemini Syndrome drummer Brian Steele Medina says, “This was always one of my favorite heavy riffs that we had in the bank for a while. When the music was finally done Aaron already had a concept in mind he had wanted to tackle for a while.”
Singer Aaron Nordstrom elaborates, “At one point when I was working through some of my traumas, my kung fu teacher made me promise to write a song about my adoption and the rejection from my birth mother. This heavy beast of a song was the result. An anthem if you will that I control me. Not anyone or anything else.”
