Transcription

Background and recording

The band commenced on writing material for a second studio album directly after finishing their debut album, Anthem of the Peaceful Army, which released in October 2018.[4] As early as January 2019, bassist Sam Kiszka indicated that the album was scheduled for sometime in 2019 as well.[5] Recording sessions occurred in a concentrated 2-month period in mid-2019.[6] The album was recorded with musical producer Greg Kurstin, who at the time had worked with Foo Fighters on Concrete and Gold and Medicine at Midnight.[7]

Themes and composition

Early 2019 commentary from the band on the album noted that it would thematically have a "more worldly" feel than their prior work, inspired by the band's seeing the world through touring.[8] Additionally, they aimed to create "an evolution to their sound" after their prior album received a lot of commentary, both positive and negative, of being very similar to the work of other bands such as Led Zeppelin.[6] Upon the reveal of the album's name of The Battle at Garden's Gate in late 2020, they expanded on the themes, noting that it was "definitely a biblical reference" but that the album expanded well beyond that, into the idea of "ancient civilizations" and "parallel universe[s]".[9] The band explores the human experience, and how religion and war affect it.[7][9] The album was described as more dark, cinematic, and complicated than their prior album.[10] Seeing dark instances of poverty and famine while touring inspired its more dire sound.[11]

Release and promotion

The band released their first single from the album, "My Way, Soon", in October 2020.[7][12] The song was debuted and performed live on December 8 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, complete with costumes and stage setup similar to 1970s' music programs.[12] A second song, "Age of Machine", was released in December 2020.[13] In January, "My Way, Soon" topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, their fifth song to top the chart.[14]
