Taking breaks from recording to pick up shows with Skeletonwitch,[14] Devilstone Open Air Festival[15] in Lithuania, and then embarking on a 15 date UK tour with label mates Evile,[16] for which they released an advanced mix of the song "The Accuser" On 12 October 2011.

[18] The first live activity in support of Plague of Conscience saw the band take part in the HMV "next big thing" series of concerts with Evile[19] at HMV Ritz in Manchester, another appearance at Hammerfest and a string of UK headline dates supported by Diamond Plate[20] as well as an appearance at the UK's Bloodstock Open Air Festival.

Prior to the release of The Fateful Dark, the band joined Denver, Colorado thrashers Havok and Spanish metal act Angelus Apatrida for a 28 date European tour through the UK, France, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain and Belgium.

[28] On 17 February 2014, the band released a promo video for the track "Hellblazer",[29] directed by Tom Walsh (Bullet for my Valentine, Pendulum) and featuring Game of Thrones star Pixie-Le-Knot.

[36] In October 2014, the band were confirmed as support on a 27 date European tour as an opening act for Amon Amarth and Huntress commencing in January 2015.

The album was mastered in Los Angeles by Dave Collins (Metallica, Linkin Park, Soundgarden) and has artwork created by Travis Smith (Avenged Sevenfold, Opeth).

[41] Marc Halupczok of Metal Hammer said in his review of Insurrection Rising that the band was "the second English hopeful in terms of thrash" alongside Evile.

The guitar riffs are occasionally reminiscent of Exodus, but the music sounds catchier and like a mixture of early Annihilator, Testament, Megadeth and Artillery.

In songs such as "The Serpent Tongue of Divinity", "Vigil of the Navigator" or "Silent Empire", a mixture of heavy and thrash metal can be heard.
