The album will be officially released on September 17^th, but can be streamed in full via Soundcloud. Discussing the album with Music Feeds, vocalist Mike Hranica stated:

“I think it’s kind of a totally new animal. It definitely is a very cohesive record. A lot of the times, I feel like we’ll write songs and a lot of them are really cool songs and they’ll all have kind of a theme, but sometimes they stray from that path of the theme that we originally intended. And I think that this album as a whole, it all sounds like the album, it all is a cohesive idea. Which, don’t get me wrong — I don’t mean to say that all the songs sound the same, because they definitely, each has their own unique personality. But as far as ‘Dead Throne’, our progression from ‘Dead Throne’, I definitely do think that this album is just a more mature record and has a lot more thought put into it. As always — we’re always gonna put a little bit more effort and thought into the new record than our previous effort.”

The quintet, from Dayton, Ohio, rose to fame in the late 2000’s as part of a wave of Christian metalcore – a genre that’s very existence surprised many – along with bands such as As I Lay Dying, Underoath and August Burns Red. Having headlined Ghostfest in Leeds earlier this summer, and with an epic tour to follow the albums release, they have established themselves as one of America’s most exciting and innovative metal acts.
