The album and its imagery will continue the concept of a genderless dystopian society populated by androids known as Palo Santo (Spanish for "holy wood"), first shown in the music video for "Sanctify". A campaign featuring a messenger bot interacting with fans on the band's Twitter account, billboard posters with QR codes and pages from a graphic novel has also been launched for the album. The album also features the full-length version of the song "Hypnotised", previously only used in part in a short film for fashion company H&M's collection by British designer Erdem.
