Recoiled is based on the fan-created digital EP, "Uncoiled", initially released freely on The Pirate Bay as fully tagged MP3s and FLAC files of the remixes, including original photography and printable jewel case inserts.

[6][9] In a press release, the label stated: These five lengthy compositions are pre-Ableton/laptop generation type priest song creations... with the use of baby alarms and numerous wires to create bespoke effects.

When Cold Spring released Recoiled in 2014, there were reports that the limited edition brown splatter vinyl copies suffered from a pressing defect rendering them unplayable.

Cold Spring requested permission from the creators of Uncoiled for the use of the photography from that digital release, which was created by a member of echoingthesound.org as an homage to Russell Mills' bloody, frayed rope mixed-media artwork used for Further Down the Spiral.

In January 2018, Hyde posted a 21 minute video on YouTube where he talks about how he created the remixes after being contacted by the forum members by utilizing samples from the era.
