Background

The band stated that the album features a more "focused" sound than their debut, 2018's '' Disobey''. Guitarist Doc Coyle called the record "diverse", saying that "There's stuff that's probably heavier, as or more heavy than the last record... And then there's some really catchy, kind of more mainstream stuff to cover that end of it, and a lot of stuff in the middle."
