This is the band's last album with bassist Dashiell Arkenstone and the only one with drummer Chris Prophet.

Frontman Nathan Winneke states: "A Natural Death is about the futility and arrogance of creation and destruction, the overwhelming scale of space and time, and the brutal majesty of nature, the horror of birth, and the beauty of death.

Hopefully this album will serve as a warning to the human race to stop taking itself so seriously, as we have seen the dire consequences of its actions in the future.

"[1] Upon the album's release, "Murder" was frequently played on the Sirius Satellite Radio station, Hard Attack.
