History

In 2012, Hydra Head Records, the band's former label, announced that they had to drop some artists from their label due to financial reasons, thus causing the band to leave the label.[7] Hydra Head would subsequently fold and stop producing music later that year. After leaving Hydra Head, the band decided to create their own Independent record label, which they titled Controlled Burn Records.[8] The album was recorded during November 2013 at Kerguelen Studio, a recording studio the band built.[9][10]
