On August 2, 2020, following the live stream show which celebrated there-recording ofWe Stitch These Wounds,Jeremy "Jinxx" Ferguson had confirmed that they are working on a new album during theCOVID-19 pandemic, stating in an interview with Myglobalmind:
We have been writing up a storm. I can't talk too about what we envision for the next album, but we are revisiting the idea of another concept record like we did withWretched and Divine. It would be fun to do another concept CD, but we'll see how things pan out. We have six solid songs written, and we are still writing. Once we do this show, we will head back into the studio to write some more. We have been doing it all ourselves. Jake will be producing it, and we are tracking vocals and guitars at his studio. I'm recording the strings at my studio. With COVID going on, we have all been quarantined and working at home, but when we do get together, it's just us and maybe our wives. When we are all in the same room bouncing ideas off each other, it's a never-ending flood of inspiration and ideas. I'm excited for fans to hear what we are coming up with.[3]
