Background
In December 2016, the first news about The Damned Things since 2011 broke when Scott Ian revealed the band recorded five new songs for an EP that year. [8] In April 2017, Keith Buckley posted a snippet of "Storm Charmer" on Instagram, causing rumors that new music was imminent. [9] However, the rumored EP was never released, and the band continued to quietly record more music over the course of the next two years until an official release announcement was made on February 22, 2019, along with the release of "Cells". [10] It was later revealed that, due to scheduling conflicts with Anthrax, Every Time I Die, and Fall Out Boy, the band could not find the right time to release music, and their EP eventually turned into a full album.
Alkaline Trio bassist and vocalist Dan Andriano joined the band for High Crimes, recording all of his parts in two days. Joe Trohman commented, "Originally I was going to play bass on the whole record, but he came in and re-played what I had done but added things—because he's a bass player! We did his stuff over the course of two days, and he nailed it." [11]
