Fish’s influence immediately reshaped the band's sonic palette. Recorded between June and September 2012 at Angelic Studio in Northamptonshire, the album pulled diverse influences from nu-metal, electronic music, ambient music, and pop. Producer Terry Date (known for his work with Pantera, Deftones, and Soundgarden) was brought in to helm the board, ensuring that the aggression was polished with an "instant accessibility" that had previously eluded the genre.
