The making of the album was fraught with strife due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The band would send each other ideas but would find that they would go long periods of time without playing their instruments. Craig Reyonlds would drum on Twitch during this time and was later joined by Tom Williams on guitar.^[8] This avenue helped re-fire their passion for performance. However, Reynolds injured his back in an accident shortly after writing was finished, postponing recording by four months.^[9]
