"Ideomotor" has been confirmed as the first single.[1] The album sold 1,400 copies in the United States in the first week of its release and debuted at No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart.[2] This is the last album with original singer Alissa White-Gluz who left the band in 2014 to join Arch Enemy.
Style
About.com's Dan Marsicano described the album as a "focused blend of straight-laced metalcore and technical craftsmanship that borders on the progressive front"[3] and Sputnik Music wrote that the album is "oozing with inspiration from a plethora of genres, such as melodeath, thrash and progressive metal."[6]
