Production

It was announced in February 2012 that Flyleaf had entered the studio with producer Howard Benson to start recording a new full-length studio album.[14] A release date of October 30, 2012 was eventually confirmed for the album.[13]

Singles

"New Horizons" is the album's first single and was released in the iTunes Store on August 21. However, the song made its radio debut on Windsor, Ontario rock station 89X on August 1.[12] According to bassist Pat Seals, the song is about "a feeling of looking toward the unknown future with hope." Seals also described it as one of the band's best songs to date.[12] A video was made for the song, and it was subsequently released on September 4, 2012.[17] A second single, "Call You Out", was released later that month. Of the song, Seals said "[it] was one of the first songs written during the New Horizons sessions. The stomping opening verse evolved over time into this aggressive but very calculated track that closes with Sameer using chaotic guitar sounds to sort of burn it to the ground - engages you all the way through."[18]
