The title of the album repeats the name of the Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding's famous novel Lord of the Flies about a group of children going wild on a deserted island and committing atrocities there.

They eventually start worshipping a dead pig's head, calling it Lord of the Flies, which is a translation of the name of Beelzebub, a satanic being.
