The album was produced and mixed by 1000mods and George Leodis, with Leodis leading up engineering at Wreck It Sound Studios in Corinth, Greece. The album was mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep (band), Toxic Holocaust, etc.) at Audiosiege Studios, Portland, Oregon. In October 2016 the band departed for a 27-date European Tour with Monkey3 and Moaning Cities.[4]
