The album is the first since a series of medical mishaps befall the band, delaying recording and release. Vocalist Jay Whalley underwent brain surgery in 2013 in order to have a parasitic tapeworm removed, as documented in the song Pigworm,[1] drummer Gordy Forman suffered a 2015 broken arm following a stage dive attempt during a Perth concert,[2] and guitarist Lindsay McDougall was forced to undergo emergency eye surgery in the same year.[3]
