The final week prior to the album's street date will see an additional six videos for the other compositions on the album premiered. Drummer Derrick Frost shares, "The idea of instant gratification tracks in my opinion is revolutionary. It not only keeps the listener engaged, but rewards them for supporting the artist as well. I'm extremely proud that we have been able to work with our partner Razor & Tie in initiating a campaign that super-serves our fans who have been waiting seven years for a new Chiodos record. What they probably don't know is that we are just as anxious to release these songs as they are to hear them."
