The album finished 5th in a Loudwire reader poll for the most anticipated release of 2016.[7]
Speaking in an interview with Metal Insider on March 15, 2016, Evan Brewer credited Navene Koperweis with the electronic atmospheres on the album, and credited Dying Fetus, Meshuggah, and Necrophagist as influences on the band's sound. When asked whether the recording process differed from that of their debut EP, Brewer stated:
It was pretty similar, just more of everything. Everything that was heard on the EP was elaborated on the album almost like the EP serves as a beginner course. There was a member change about three quarters through the album. The guitar player that was on the EP [Frank Costa], did all the rhythm tracking on the album, but he left before we did the leads so that was done by our new guy, Malcolm [Pugh]. So, there are two different guys contributing on the guitar side of the album.
