The album describes the story of a casket-maker by the name of Solomon who could not die and thus jumped into a freezing river and awakening in the 1990s, transformed into Blaze, and eventually into Colton Grundy. A music act named after the supervillain Solomon Grundy was formed in the late 1980s as a side project of Pacific Northwest grunge-era group Screaming Trees. Van Conner was featured as singer on their self-titled New Alliance Records release.
