Background and release

Throughout the album, the Freestylers showcase their ever-eclectic style and renegade approach to production focusing on everything in the bass music spectrum, including drum and bass, dubstep, speed garage and acid house, while also not shying away from their well-known hip hop/breakbeat style. The album features collaborations with various artists such as Stereo:Type, Wizard (a frequent collaborator with DJ Deekline), SirReal, Laura Steel, Irwin Sparkes, Takura Tendayi, Synikall and hiphouse legend Fast Eddie.

The first two singles that the Freestylers released after signing to the Rub-A-Duck label, "Frozen", recorded with Joshua Steele (a.k.a. Flux Pavilion), and "Over You", which featured Ami Carmine, were included in the album as bonus tracks.

Through their SoundCloud page, the track "Calling Me Home" (featuring D.V.) was released as a free download to promote the release of the album and its title single.[2] Later, a remix competition for "The Coming Storm" was held to celebrate the launch of the new album at Subsound, Liverpool.[3] They have also released their own VIP mix of the track.[4]
