+The Highway of Life would begin production during 2011 shortly after the release of [[Albums:Darken Days]], during the end of the gothickingcobra52 saga while Josh waited to leave for Job Corps. This era is particularly important to Josh, as this was the time he received his first real taste of YouTube fame with his initial viral video, "Fuck the mainstream".
 ===== Music and Lyrics =====
+As expected from much of Josh's very early work, the album is best described as what a child thinks heavy metal sounds like if they had never heard what heavy metal was before. Among other topics, Josh dedicates a track to his abusive stepmother, who he rants for an extended period over in the third-longest track of the album.
