Vocalist Aryn Jonathan Black discusses the concept behind the artwork in the trailer below.

“It’s a representation of sexuality" comments Aryn. "The colors, the mystique, the poison and evil and just everything discussed in the record is more or less this man who has everything stripped from him and is enslaved and put away from his children, his family. It’s a very dark subject matter."

"Acid Roulette chronicles the life trials of a traveling man who was imprisoned for a murderous crime," comments Aryn. "He was forced into confessing by his wife and her wealthy lover so that they could live out their romance without him in the picture. Once sentenced to a life's term, he goes through extreme emotions dealing with the only woman he'd ever loved taking everything he'd known as "real" away from him. He has to create and redefine his own reality accompanied by its roller coaster of emotional reflection. He experiences many different psychological changes throughout the years and escapes by means of drugs and his writings. These songs become his diary of a madman. The focus is mainly on the seasons in a year, for each song represents a month. The songs exist to drive home the full power of human emotion as many albums do, however, Acid Roulette wires us into those extremes."
