Statement from the band's mastermind Stefan Nordström: "Writing music can be a great way to reflect and finally close chapters of your life. In the case of Famine, this couldn't be more true. 2020-2021 proved to be the dissolution of my life. I was never to be the same. As a result of digging into this, the multi-faceted hope and open reflection of 2022's Soulsearching is completely gone on this album. There aren't many dreamy shoegaze sections or "what ifs" on this album; this is pure abyssal hopelessness. That's all I remember of those two years, and that's exactly how Famine sounds like. The album deals with everything from pandemic isolation and dissolving relationships to death, rebirth and artistic doubt.
"It feels like I needed to capture it and managed to do it. The album encapsulates the inner and outer chaos that was reigning. Now, it's time to forget and move on.
Musically, I had to take a step back into death/doom metal at times to paint the right picture. It also represents a more cathartic side of Soliloquium's music. I don't want this to be a comfortable listen to nod your head along to - I want you to really feel it. This is dark suburban metal for the trapped, lonely and disharmonious. Lost in times of Famine."
