Background
After the return of bassist Max Green in 2013 and his second departure in 2014 the band went through a string of touring bassist and left the band in a state of uncertainty.[8] Kevin "Thrasher" Gruft and TJ Bell ended up playing bass on the album.[9] The band also lost guitarists Monte and Michael Money in late 2013. The band entered the studio on May 10, 2015 to start recording the album with Howard Benson.[10]
Singles and promotion
In early August 2015 the band changed all of their social media photos to read "8.18.15" which was speculated to be a single release or an album announcement.
On August 18, the band released the single "Just a Memory" for free online and officially announced the album along with a worldwide tour.[7][11]
