Summary

On May 10, 2016, the band announced the new album.[4] The first single from the album, "Joyride (Omen)", was released to radio in May 2016.[5] The group also added that the first 2016 pre-orders would be signed by the band; but later decided that all pre-orders would be signed due to the servers crashing when the preorders went live.[4][6] The band announced on June 20 that the song "Young Wicked" would be available to everyone who pre-ordered the album on June 23, 2016.[7] On June 30, 2016 the band announced that "A Miracle" would be the bonus track to those who pre-ordered the album.

Critical reception

Critical reception to the album has been generally positive. Allmusic's Neil Yeung has described the album as Chevelle's "heaviest, darkest, and most aggressive effort in over a decade." [8]
