The first single released from the album was "Memoria", on 15 November 2012. The second single from the album was "College Boy", released on 13 May 2013. The video attracted attention due to its graphic violence pointing at homophobia. The third single from the album is "Black City Parade".[2]
The album was also accompanied by an almost two-hour documentary, as the band let a film crew film the process of creating the album, from demoing, rewriting, recording and mixing to planning the tour.[citation needed]
