Tertia was made available as a full free download on the same day as its digital release, through Gimme Sound. All that was required of the user was registration to the website. The money raised through advertising on the site went to the band, or charities chosen by the band, the site or the user.[5][7] The album is no longer available for download as of November 2, but may still be streamed for free.[8]

Caspian spent two weeks recording Tertia in February 2009.[9] The album was produced by Ethan Dussault with assistance from Ed Llerena at New Alliance in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nick Zampiello mastered the recording along with Rob Gonella at New Alliance East. Nate Shumaker (who worked on You Are the Conductor) and PAJ returned on design duties for the project.[5]
