==Composition==
;Influences, style and themes
Like The Innocent Demons Dance, it is conceptual. Coinciding with the record's lead single, vocalist Ash Erickson would go into detail about the lyrical content:
"This marked the point in which my pen game confidence grew. It only took -- what -- FIVE years? Our new creation examines paraphilias. With themes running the gamut from vampirism to urolagnia I didn't plan on pulling my punches. Unlike the last time I strove for an overarching concept Devirgination is more unified cover to cover. The whole thing was partly inspired by little bro, Myron, who quit the adult business. Fun for the WHOOOOOLE family!"
In terms of sonic direction it's a paradigm shift even for an act of Triple Seven's caliber. Erickson went on to elaborate here, as well:
"When we say Triple Seven don't make the same record twice, we mean it. The boys and I have always enjoyed the idea of subversion; that love for shattering expectations now comes to a head. Several tracks turned into our craziest material yet! We wanted both the primitive and futuristic to marry -- Sky (our angel on bass) was ESPECIALLY pleased with the results. Do except the WTF factor the moment you hit play. We'll polarize people with Devirgination, even though we've divided them before... and before that, too! "
Musically Devirgination has been categorized as nu metal, digital hardcore, and avant-garde metal. Over the course of the album runtime the band delves into elements of other styles like prog, trance, dub, symphonic metal, industrial, and glitch.
