In February 2011, the band played a five-week tour in North America under the name "Finnish Metal Tour 2011", alongside other Finnish bands including Finntroll, Ensiferum and Rotten Sound, gathering support for their album that would officially be released around two months later.

[11] The band and their audience celebrated the new album on Good Friday evening in a record releasing gig at Kuudes Linja club in Helsinki, supported by a local metal group Oceanhoarse.
[15] Aldará writes about people isolating, and suffering from different mental issues such as manic depression, psychopathy and agoraphobia.
[19] While Laine is still the man behind most of the composing, the other members Sami Yli-Sirniö, Janne Perttilä and Marko Tarvonen now also contribute.
Jón Aldará, now singing the lyrics mostly according to his own mind and will, switches between heavy growls and clear, even operatic vocals.
