Background
The album was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Howard Benson and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. The band has mentioned this will be their heaviest material to date and "very similar to some of their early songs." The 10-track album was the Tennessee band's first since founding guitarist Matt Wantland left the group in 2009.
Throughout the first half of 2010, the band went back and forth between putting on live shows and working on the album in the studio. During this time, they debuted a few new songs live, including "Dead in the Water", "Now is the Time", and the new album's first single "Shoot It Out".
The bonus track "Silhouette of a Life" was also included on their 2004 album Killing All That Holds You.
In June 2011 a video was shot for "Fix Me" and released in later 2011.
