History

An album was announced to be in progress with the official re-branding announcement of Welch's solo project in February 2012. The album's release was preceded by the EP Chemicals , which featured three songs from the forthcoming album, as well as two remixes. The band continued to record and tour throughout 2012, and in September they announced the release date for the album to be November 20. [6] Shortly before the release date announcement, Welch stated that the band had just signed a deal with Tooth & Nail Records and EMI to release the album. [7] Shortly before the release date, the label pushed the release back to January 22, 2013. [8]

According to Welch, "this record was birthed from trials, tribulations, pain, suffering, anxiety, depression, and drama. However, we came out on top and the end result is a very real, raw & honest record." [6] The band also revealed they would be touring in 2013 to support the album. [6] An expanded edition was released on September 17, 2013 and features three bonus tracks. [9] [10]
