The concept album was recorded after frontman Derek Archambault underwent hip replacement surgery, paid for by fans who contributed to a Pledgemusic campaign.

On the Pledgemusic page, he wrote: "All of this has brought me to do something many of you will know is out of character for me. I need to set aside my pride and ask for the help that so many of you have offered over the past year.

"And before going any further, I would like to thank each and every one of you that has wished me well, shaken my hand, sang along, and been more supportive than I could ever dream of."

The Boston melodic hardcore outfit previously released a video for the track Unanswered. They'll begin a North American tour next week, before heading to the UK and Europe for a run of dates in November. Stream the album - here.
