In a recent interview withBLABBERMOUTH.NET,Kisserwas asked how the band came up with the"Kairos"title. "The whole theme of the album is the concept of the time, and the title reflects that - it's like one concept of time which is not chronological, from one to two; it's like a an instant in time, it's a special time of change," he replied, before adding, "Everyone's life is written by [their] choices - you have many 'kairos' moments, like if you go [from] point A [to point] B [to point] C, you are driven by your choices or your guidance; you have to go either one way or the other. And that's the kind of time we talked about - not about aging or getting old or going back [in time]; it's just [about those important] moments that can change everything. . .We thought about [that in regards to]SEPULTURAitself - 26 years of history and the moment where we are now; why we're here; why we're doing this album and why we have what we have; the changes we have inside and outside the band. It's a collection of 'kairos' [moments] that [got us] here. It's being inspired by our own biography, but mostly [focusing] on whatSEPULTURAis today."
