Until Your Heart Stops has been regarded as a landmark release in the metallic hardcore genre.

[3] Despite being the band's second full-length release, Until Your Heart Stops represents the first time Cave In went into a studio to record a full album together.

The album also marks the first time they would play as a four-piece, as it was recorded in the midst of a major line-up change, going through two vocalists and one bassist.

[1] According to guitarist Adam McGrath, Until Your Heart Stops was influenced by Cable, Rorschach, and, most notably, Converge.

This edition features a remastered version of the album along with previously unreleased demos and alternative takes.
