Last March, the Maryland quartet shared a snippet of music from their Doom Saloon rehearsal space on social media, with the caption "Happy Spring everyone - let's write a rock and roll record".

Since then, the group have premiered a number of new songs in concert, including Boss Metal Zone, Strive For Excellence, Nosferatu Madre and Slaughter Beach.
