In Japan, the album was released by Howling Bull Entertainment and features the bonus track "Oceanbreast".
The trio of Ryan Primack (guitar), Chris Hornbrook (drums) and Jeffrey Moreira (vocals) wrote the album over a number of years.
"The songs are pretty open-ended and there's a lot of unique instrumentation in the background throughout such as mandolins, slide guitar, horns and banjo," he says.
A video has also been released for "Letter Thing", directed by Roboshobo (The Blood Brothers, Mates of State).
The video features stop motion animation figures which speak in subtitled Norse runes throughout the video, saying the following: "The hour grows near; The weak flesh shall be tempered by fire; Face what is yours; With this ring, I thee wed"
