In September, the band released five second fragments of the song "From the Dust of This Planet" through music sharing for fans to assemble in any order to form a complete song.
The album features guest vocals from Joe Duplantier on "The Oppressor", and Suffocation's Frank Mullen on "Sets".
Tracks "From the Dust of This Planet", "Sets", and "Gratitude" were released as previews and "Black Blood" as a video.
The album was praised in reviews for its originality and how "paralyzing and oppressively heavy" it is,[1] svbterranean.net stating "Meta is comprised of the band’s heaviest, forward-thinking and out there moments in their discography."[2] Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks praised the album, writing, "My mind is too blown by this record."
