Career Suicide, released on October 9, 2007, through Nitro Records, is the fifth studio album from the Massachusetts based melodic hardcore band A Wilhelm Scream.

Pre-production for the band's next album was held at Black & Blue Project Studio in New Bedford, Massachusetts with Joe Reilly and Jonathan Teves.

[1] Career Suicide was recorded at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado in May 2007 with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore as producers.

[5] Later that month, Guitarist Christopher Levesque announced he would be leaving the band after a few shows, citing a lack of enjoyment from touring.

[10] In November and December, the band played a handful of shows with the Fall of Troy and Schoolyard Heroes, before ending the year with a tour with the Flatliners.

[25] A Wilhelm Scream made a conscious effort to abandon certain elements of their album Ruiner when writing Career Suicide.

As a result, several songs on Career Suicide are shorter than two minutes in length and the tempos are significantly faster compared to A Wilhelm Scream's previous albums.

The album's overall sound is closer to skate punk than melodic hardcore, but is still considered highly progressive and technical for the genre.

He would go on to compare Robinson's introduction to the band as similar to Travis Barker's arrival in Blink 182; Robinson's bass playing was so advanced that Reilly himself, drummer Nick Angelini, and guitarist Chris Levesque felt inspired to be more proficient at their instruments and write more complex rhythms and riffs.
