The original idea of a doing a full concert with an orchestra was the brainchild of Tim Tournier, Alter Bridge's Manager. Tournier offered the idea after the band's promotional O2 Arena gig; the band members saw the idea as a "no-brainer" and began planning.[3][4] Myles Kennedy explained, "I think out of all the years of doing this [music], this experience is the top two or three highlights without a doubt.".[1] Three songs, Addicted To Pain, Words Darker Than Their Wings and The End Is Here, were released prior to the album.[5]
All tracks are written by Alter Bridge.
