Aftermath (stylized as 'aftər,maθ) is the second studio album by Australian Contemporary Christian band Hillsong United. Production for the album began in March 2010 at Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia.[3] The album was formerly known as This Means Love.

Background

Originally United's Across the Earth was stated to be a two part project, with a studio release in September 2010, but those plans were scrapped. It was revealed in March 2010, United was in the studio working on the first part of their latest album.[6] On 25 May 2010 it was confirmed that stage two of the album was done after three weeks in the studio.[7] During a broadcast of Hillsong Backstage, at Hillsong Conference 2010, it was uncovered that the album's goal date would be February 2011. There was a photo shoot lasting 3 days in over 10 different locations for the album artwork and photo collection on their website.[8][9] The album leaked on 15 January 2011, exactly one month before the album's planned release date when it was unintentionally made available for purchase on the US iTunes store.
