Musical themes

Percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan described what he could regarding "Dead Memories", saying, "I can't speak for Corey, but I've heard him say there's a period of ten years in his life that's behind him now. That's pretty much all he wants to say. You can listen to it, and figure it out. That'll be the second single. It's a serious song. It's seriously melodic, and that's what we like to do. We like to explore those worlds. It's an honor to be in a band with someone that will take chances on melody. That's what we're here to do—to feel as much as possible."

Music video

The music video for "Dead Memories" is due to be shot sometime in October.
