The eponymous album is the band's first release through Rise Records after a very open and public fallout with their previous label, Trustkill Records, in 2008.{{cite web| last = Weinhofen| first = Jona| author-link = Jona Weinhofen| title = Guest Blog: Bleeding Through Reveal Truth About Trustkill Records, Announce Song Titles For New Album| publisher = MTV| date = June 6, 2008| url = http://headbangersblog.mtv.com/2008/06/06/guest-blog-bleeding-through-reveal-truth-about-trustkill-records-announce-song-titles-for-new-album/| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080915183017/http://headbangersblog.mtv.com/2008/06/06/guest-blog-bleeding-through-reveal-truth-about-trustkill-records-announce-song-titles-for-new-album/| url-status = dead| archive-date = September 15, 2008| accessdate = February 5, 2010}} Bleeding Through announced the split with Trustkill shortly after releasing their previous album, Declaration. In late 2009, the band announced their signing to Rise Records. Craig Ericson, President of Rise expressed his excitement to work with Bleeding Through stating, "We've been huge fans ever since they released an album on Indecision Records. Having Bleeding Through in the family is a dream come true. We both share extreme passion for music and can't wait to show the world what we can achieve together as a team."{{cite magazine|last=Heisel |first=Scott |title=AltPress Exclusive: Bleeding Through sign to Rise Records |magazine=Alternative Press |date=August 10, 2009 |url=http://altpress.com/news/bleedingthroughrise.htm |accessdate=February 5, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090716150550/http://www.altpress.com/news/bleedingthroughrise.htm |archive-date=July 16, 2009 }} The band was mutually excited to work with Rise, due to the label's enthusiasm to help the band grow and reach their potential. Vocalist Brandan Schieppati stated, "After 10 years, we have been content with the fan base, the familiarity of touring and the comfort of knowing what to expect at every show. Rise wants to build on that."{{cite web| last = Sciarretto| first = Amy| title = Bleeding Through 'Rise' to the Occasion| website = Noisecreep| date = September 23, 2009| url = http://www.noisecreep.com/2009/09/23/bleeding-through-rise-to-the-occasion/| accessdate = February 5, 2010}}
