CommentedOBITUARYon the new material: "We don't know how to explain it but we really hit the 'metal nail' on the head with this album.

"We have been writing and working on the new material for nearly three years now and we could not be more excited how these songs have all turned out.

"All the stars seem to have aligned for us and this release, with the songs, production and overall feel of this record, the band is more solid than ever."

The album recording was funded by an extremely successfulKickstartercampaign in late 2013. Now the band has partnered withRelapseworldwide to maximize the release and impact of what is surely their heaviest and most cohesive record in 20 years.

The group elaborated on the decision to create theKickstartercampaign and sign withRelapse.

"We always knew that our fans were some of the most devoted fans on the planet and they proved it by stepping up, being a part of something new and supporting us with ourKickstartercampaign," says the band. "This was an amazing display of true fan support and we could not be more proud of everyone who helped raise the money to record this album by pre-ordering it, buying all the cool stuff we offered and just being a part of something that we believe will be the way of the future. Now we have teamed up withRelapse Recordsto have them get this new album out there, in stores and available to the fans worldwide.

"We are very excited about our partnership withRelapseand are looking forward to working beside them with the release. They are a great label and super-cool people who have shown us that they are excited to haveOBITUARYon their roster and are ready to push this album to its fullest potential."
