Fateless is the first Coldrain album to be released under the label of Warner Music Japan, following leaving Hopeless Records towards the backend of 2016, and also the first to not be released under the Japanese label VAP. This would be the follow-up since 2015's Vena, and be their second highest charting album on the Oricon Albums Chart, debuting and peaking at number 8, only behind The Revelation which peaked at number 7.
The album was home to three singles, "Envy", the lead single, which was released in the beginning of August, "Feed The Fire", on the 21st of the following month, as well as being the opening theme of the anime King's Game, and "R.I.P." in October, just three days after the release of Fateless. Coldrain would also ambitiously cover "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette on this 12 track record that runs a little over 46 minutes.[4]
