Background
According to Anders, this album features increasingly wide vocal registers and reduced growls.[11] In addition, some of the album's songs "pretty much go against the hard rock formula."[8]
The entire album was written by Björn Gelotte. The guitar solos, unlike most other albums, were able to be pre-planned out and worked much better according to the in-studio report.
The band revealed the cover art, track listing and first single, "Deliver Us", on their official Facebook page in April and May 2011. Then on 3 June 2011, aol.com streamed the entire album on their music network.[12] In Flames performed the album on their European tour with support from Noctiferia,[13] as part of the "Defenders of the Faith III" tour, with bands Trivium, Rise to Remain, Ghost and Insense,[14] and with Trivium in their North American Tour.[15]
The track "Deliver Us" was featured in the soundtrack to the 2013 video game Saints Row IV.
