Met de trilogie De Doden Hebben Het Goed I, II en III zette Wiegedood een nieuwe internationale standaard in de atmospheric black metal. De band behoort tot de Church Of Ra en de drie bandleden zaten of zitten in andere Church Of Ra-bands als Amenra, Oathbreaker en Living Gate. Na de trilogie bracht Wiegedood hun set op Roadburn uit als live-album.
Over het nieuwe album zegt de band: “’There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road’” focuses on the filthiest and most disgusting parts of human nature and society. It steers clear from the typical Black Metal themes and concepts, instead zoning in on the struggle we lead within, trying to overcome the fact we are all made from that same filth. Exploring places the previous trilogy didn’t even scratch the surface of, both lyrically and musically. A first-hand look into pure disgust, a psychotic ride with synths, tape-recorders, hot club jazz and distressing samples. A definite switch from our previous work, a dark turn into something unexpected and unwelcome.”
