Frontman Trevor Phipps says: "Watchers Of Rule is our most vicious, aggressive and anthemic album to date. To say we are looking forward to people hearing this record is a gross understatement. The album remains true to the Unearth sound but also opens up a new direction of urgency and fire within our music."

Phipps recently stated the band didn't like following trends, and instead would rather write in a style that comes natural to them. He said: "I think bands that don't give into pressure and keep doing it their way will reap the rewards in the long run. Our intention the whole time has been to model ourselves after the likes of Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse and Slayer."
