Background and recording
On January 8, 2009, the band announced they had signed to independent label Bridge Nine Records. Drummer Emmett Menke said the group had been in discussions with labels for a while, "and as cliche as it sounds, there isn't a better match out there for us."[5] He said that the band were long-time fans of the label, in addition to "the bands they've worked with. It's rare these days to be a part of a label that doesn't feel the need to rest on its laurels and is not afraid to push the envelope."[5] He mentioned that the band had been writing a new album for two weeks up to that point. Their next album was expected to the be released some time in the fall.[5] In mid-January, it was mentioned that the band would be recording in April.[6] On April 6, the band began recording with producer Matt Bayles.[7]
