Varials released four singles, "I Suffocate", "Bleeding", "Romance", and "The Love Machine"[5] for the album on September 23, and released the album through Fearless on October 11, 2019.[6][7] Varials supported Counterparts on their Private Room 2.0 Tour throughout the Fall of 2019.[8] Varials will be heading to Europe to support Polaris on their Death of Me Tour.
Lyrically, the album touches on the subject of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Sonically, the album takes influence from artists such as Nine Inch Nails, Slipknot, and Deftones,[9] while also including a heavy twist that Tess Hofer of Dead Press! called "the musical equivalent of standing in a battlefield but without the guns and violence".[3]
