Last year they said of the album, which was recorded using $340,000 of crowdfunded cash: "The campaign allowed us a new level of artistic and business-mindset freedom. We had the pleasure of recording with budgets and deadlines created only by ourselves. We think the project benefitted the world over because of that."

The Canadian outfit return for a set at this year's Sonisphere festival, which takes place on the weekend of July 4-6 at Knebworth Park and also features Dream Theater, Mastodon, Karnivool, Devin Townsend, The Safety Fire, TesseracT and Collibus.
