Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, the album had originally been recorded in their home town of Portadown over a seven-month period but was re-recorded after signing a record deal.[1]
The trio say about the album that, "We're just a rock band that write about things that are important to us". Social issues, child abuse and war are the main topics the band tackle on the album along with personal problems, such as the death of Colin and Steven's father at an early age.[1]
Promotion
The trio's debut single "This Time We Stand" was released 11 November 2008 along with a music video. The single was played frequently on MTV2. The video for second single "The Cleansing" was shot in Leeds and was then released along with a limited edition 7" vinyl picture disc on 2 March 2009.[2] It went on to chart at #10 in the UK Indie Chart.
"Enemies" was the third single released a week prior to the album on 4 May 2009. The video was directed by Canadian visual artist, Jesse Ewles.[3]
A demo of "Violence and Pictures" was also featured on the "New Breed" compilation CD by Kerrang! and the band started touring in order to promote the album on 12 May at the Exeter Cavern.
Fourth single, "Parallels" was released on 24 August 2009,[4] preceding their performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals on the August Bank Holiday weekend. The music video was made available on their Myspace on the release date.[5] Second single, "The Cleansing" was re-released on 26 October 2009, featuring two new exclusive b-sides.[6]
