Mastermind Jimbob Isaac comments: "Our premiere track 'Fortune Favours the Insane' was the first song written for the new album and is lyrically based around those fine lines between commitment to your art and the brain-splitting madness that it can sometimes push you towards. 'I ain't been over the edge...but I've seen it'."
