After Creeper performed at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2016, the band's Twitter account began posting images of white noise, before their personal accounts were hidden or removed.{{cite news |url=http://www.upsetmagazine.com/read/creeper-are-up-to-something/ |title=Creeper are up to something |last=Shutler |first=Ali |work=Upset |publisher=The Bunker Publishing |date=28 August 2016 |access-date=28 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160828162153/http://www.upsetmagazine.com/read/creeper-are-up-to-something/ |archive-date=28 August 2016 |url-status=dead }} A Southampton phone number used to promote The Stranger then featured a new voicemail message, which provided a link to a website detailing "the disappearance of James Scythe", featuring references to the band's EPs. In October, the band resurfaced with the announcement of their debut full-length album Eternity, in Your Arms, along with the release of its first track and video "Suzanne".{{cite news |url=http://www.kerrang.com/45462/creeper-alive-theyve-announced-debut-album/ |title=Creeper Are Alive And They've Announced Their Debut Album |last=Hingle |first=James |work=Kerrang! |publisher=Bauer Media Group |date=3 October 2016 |access-date=4 October 2016 }} Gould offered the following explanation of the album's inspiration: "Eternity, in Your Arms is a record, this time not only about being young and heartbroken, but about transition, about age and loss. Not only the loss of life, but the loss of ourselves. The pieces of the people we were." The band later supported Pierce the Veil alongside Letlive on a tour of the UK and Europe, which started on 29 October and ran until 6 December.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/pierce_the_veil_announce_tour_with_letlive._creeper |title=Pierce The Veil announce tour with letlive., Creeper |last=Sharp |first=Tyler |magazine=Alternative Press |date=6 June 2016 |access-date=17 November 2016 }}

In an interview with Riot Magazine, Gould stated:

{{Blockquote

|text=when I was younger I never thought I’d be in a band, I thought I’d be making movies! I love music but I always wanted to tell stories and create a visual world. I ended up falling into a place where I was in Creeper and I was using those elements of screenwriting and storytelling in my music. So the concept thing came naturally as albums work like little films to us and come as second nature to me. I wanted it to feel like when you listen to it you escape into some other place and see something visual..
