Regarding the new EP, the band commented: "With the pandemic and the unplanned free time - you can spontaneously record three cover versions of songs that move you at the moment. But why these three songs? "Judas" by Lady Gaga should be self-explanatory due to the title overlap with our current album. "Children Of The Damned" is a nod to our summer tour hosts Iron Maiden, who booked us as a support band. And "Wig In A Box"... well, if you don't know the movie musical 'Hedwig And The Angry Inch', you should definitely change that. We saw the movie one day and one of us yelled, 'let's cover that song!' - and as it always is with us, every spontaneous idea is put into action. Or at least it's tried."
Frontman Chris Harms on "Judas": "Lady Gaga has caused me many sleepless nights in the past. That's meant differently than that may sound at first - her songs stay in my head and stick to my heart, as do few other artists. There they remain, for very long. That's why it is very exciting to me to interpret such a song vocally myself, always knowing that in today's world, it's not impossible for the result to be heard by the original artist herself. Sounds a lot like fanboy action - it actually is."
