In September, the band released five second fragments of the song "From the Dust of This Planet" through music sharing for fans to assemble in any order to form a complete song. Tracks "From the Dust of This Planet", "Sets", and "Gratitude" were released as previews and "Black Blood" as a video.

The album features guest vocals from Joe Duplantier on "The Oppressor" and Suffocation's Frank Mullen on "Sets".

Reception

The album was praised in a review for its originality and how "paralyzing and oppressively heavy" it is.[3] Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks exclaimed "My mind is too blown by this record."[4]
