==Production and recording==

In an interview during Warped Tour 2009, bassist Max Green stated that the album will feature a song co-written by [[Mick Mars]] of [[Mötley Crüe]], who approached Escape The Fate to collaborate on some songs.<ref>[http://thrashitoutonline.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-interview-with-max-green-of-escape.html Interview with Max Green]</ref> Max Green also confirmed through Formspring that there will be a song co-written by guitarist [[John 5 (guitarist)|John 5]] of [[Rob Zombie]].

On April 23, vocalist Craig Mabbitt stated via Twitter, "off to vegas today to finish out last minute badass demos with monte, then off to bamboozle, then studio time", giving the notion that the band will begin recording their studio album directly after [[Bamboozle]], and release it mid/late Summer 2010. {{Citation needed|date=May 2010}} Soon after, Mabbitt stated through his Twitter account that the band has a few more songs to record, and that the new album will be coming sooner than expected. He has also hinted towards there being a "Guillotine III: The Aftermath" track on the album,<ref>http://twitter.com/caige/status/18148753690</ref> which was later confirmed as true. Later, Mabbitt updated on his Twitter account that the band only has one song left to record.<ref>http://twitter.com/caige/status/18857805170</ref>

During early recording, Max Green was questioned on Formspring about the band possibly changing record labels. Max responded by saying that he will reveal all of that at a later time. This would make the record the first to be released without Epitaph Records.{{full}} On July 26, Escape The Fate confirmed that the new record will be released through major record label, DGC/Interscope Records. In the same press release, they have listed Don Gilmore as the album's producer, who has worked with bands such as [[Linkin Park]], [[Bullet For My Valentine]], and [[Hollywood Undead]]. A November 2nd release date was also confirmed. Speaking about the album, Max Green commented, "This record is the cure for the modern day music epidemic, We are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it.”<ref>http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/escape_the_fate_sign_to_dgc_interscope_target_album_release_date/</ref>
