Recording
editA demo version of the track "Malformation" was recorded in November 2017, but the band started working seriously on the album in March 2018. The last adjustments were made at the last minute according to an interview with Gekirock.[4]
Critical reception
editChiaki Fujitani, of Gekirock, said that it is "[...] a work full of ambition and self-confidence, which not only seems alive, but also symbolizes a more expressive power. [...]"[5]
The album peaked at the 194° position on the Oricon charts.[6]
