Background
Chelsea Grin first confirmed work for a new EP at the end of 2011.[6] Soon after this announcement, founding lead guitarist Michael Stafford left the band and was replaced by Jason Richardson of Born of Osiris as a touring member, before Richardson left Born of Osiris while out on tour with the band; which in turn resulted in him joining Chelsea Grin full-time.[7] On May 9, 2012, Artery began streaming the song "Lilith".[8]
Evolve was tracked by Buckett at High Vibe Recordings, mixed by Jason Suecof at Audio Hammer Studios, and engineered by Dååth guitarist Eyal Levi.[9]
