Between The Screams (often shortened to BTS) were formed in February 2006 by Daniel Waterhouse (guitars), Adam Wolf (vocals) and Mark Ravinet (drums).
The band recorded two new tracks with Mark Williams (Devil sold his soul, Enter Shikari, Sikth, Biffy Clyro) at Criterion/Battery Studios in February 2007 and after playing many shows during the summer of that year, the band recorded another two tracks, again with Mark Williams.
After receiving positive feedback for the Embryo EP, Basick Records agreed to release the album in spring 2009 and signed the band to a further two-album deal.
The album displayed an advancement of sound, incorporating a heavier, more aggressive influence, while still maintaining their signature progressive ambient soundscapes.
The album made many end of year 'best of' lists and spawned one single, the title track 'Our last days on earth'.
