A digital only single titled "Eye on You",[12] originally scheduled for release on November 2, 2018,[13] was released on November 16 to promote the album. It features Robert Görl of German electropunk band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft[14] and contains two remixes of the title track: one by Terence Fixmer and one by Orphx.
The release date of the album was moved from October 2018 to February 2019.[13] In December, the band announced the final release date of February 8, 2019. Chris Connelly, Nick Holmes and Jimmy Urine would appear on the album as guests, the latter on a cover of Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus".[1] In January 2019 the band revealed the album's tracklist.[15]
Two days before the album's release, a video for "Rock Me Amadeus" directed by Jason Alacrity premiered at Baeble Music.[16]
On December 2, 2020 Front Line Assembly released a video for the track "Arbeit" directed by Henrik Bjerregaard Clausen and starring Danish actor Kim Sønderholm.[17]
"'Eye on You' is definitely about the paranoia of our governments watching us [...], but there’s a couple of songs that are about the complexities in relationships between people today as well", said vocalist Bill Leeb in an interview with Release Magazine.[18]
