Already overwhelmed with emotions and melodies to share, the unexpected pandemic adds a veil of darkness to everyone's view of the world today. This could not leave Elysion untouched either, as it influenced their album when it comes to symbolism and atmosphere used on the album. Taking a few steps back and contemplating everything, it becomes clear that we are miserably failing as humanity. The album title "Bring Out Your Dead" is a metaphor, suggesting that extreme times are requiring extreme measures to get rid of everything rotten inside us and let the healing begin. Despite not being considered a concept album, "Bring Out Your Dead" indicates a crossover from darkness towards light; with light being our better version, our pure nature, one that hasn't been poisoned by the corruption of mankind. When it comes to songwriting, this album consists of a lot of different compositions, thus letting many different shades of their musical character show. Apart from Elysion's distinctive own identity being prominent throughout the songs, it gave them great excitement to experiment with heavier sounds, a more alternative atmosphere and dynamics that led to an evolved sound compared to their previous releases
