To promote the album, the band toured during the summer leading up to the record's release[5] as well as the following fall–winter season.[6] Sterilize marks the first studio album by the group to be self-produced, as recording was primarily done by Dave Curran at Gatos Trail Recording Studio in Joshua Tree, CA. The album was mixed at Acre, New York, by Andrew Schnieder in February that same year, and mastering was done by Carl Saff in Chicago, Illinois.[5]

The album was included in the Rolling Stones "20 Best Metal Albums of 2017" list.[7]
