Released Tuesday (April 26), “Boltfor” was “initially recorded during the sessions for As The Love Continues at Vada Studios” according to a statement, “and then completed at the band’s very own Castle of Doom studios in March 2022.”

Speaking about the song’s accompanying video, director Sam Wiehl said: “The video is a visual metaphor for the constant movement in life and the unceasing urge to move forward as individuals…in the form of a metaphysical road movie.”
