Norma Jean's Mirrored Image

"The album has two sides, and it's meant to be interpreted from that perspective. If you think of a mirror ... and you're looking at yourself, you're used to the same room all the time. We don't think about what's necessarily behind us because it's the same thing every day. And we're used to that." Norma Jean goes behind the mirror on their latest release, 'All Hail,' a tribute to their fans.
