Recording

The album was produced by Mike Green (Paramore, The Matches)[9] and is their debut on Epitaph Records after their manager reportedly paid their previous label, Eulogy Recordings, to buy out their contract.[10] Recording was completed in late March.[11]

Hayley Williams of Paramore also features on "The Few That Remain", whilst ex-vocalist of Turmoil Jon Gula is featured on "Gaia Bleeds (Make Way For Man)". The album is closed with the 90s skate punk influenced "Our Ethos: A Legacy to Pass On", featuring vocals from New Found Glory’s Chad Gilbert.[9] Jordan Pundik, also of New Found Glory provides vocals on the Japanese bonus track "The Lost Boys".[12]
