Guitarist Mike DeWolf described the album's sound as a return to the heavy nature of Taproot's early material:
- "We're definitely making it as heavy as possible and aggressive while still keeping a lot of the beautiful melodies and just the general beauty of things in it. We're using a lot more of our baritone guitars, which was sort of the signature of the Gift and Welcome [2002] years, so that immediately makes things a lot heavier."[2]
The album debuted at number 107 on the Billboard 200 chart, with first week sales of 5,500.
