Background and recording

In June 2023, guitarist Richie Faulkner stated that the album was being recorded in Phoenix, Arizona with producer and touring guitarist Andy Sneap and "sounding great". Faulkner also stated that the band's sound would take on a slight change as it is "progressive in the sense that it's not like verse-chorus-verse-chorus-solo-chorus-finish. It's musical part-verse-musical part. It might do a few twists and turns, musically". He had earlier stated that although "there's obvious connections to the last record", the album would not be Firepower 2.[2]

The album was announced before the band's performance at the first Power Trip festival in Indio, California.[6] The album trailer was then uploaded on the band's YouTube channel.[5]
