It is the band's first full-length release and their third release in all. It was released by [[Columbia Records]] on March 5th, 2013. It is labeled as [[Sigil numbers|Sigil 4]]. The vinyl release of the album comes with two bonus tracks. When downloaded from HTDA's official store, the tracks each come with their own artwork, a variation of the head from the album's art.

[[Rob Sheridan]] describes the album's concept as "anxiety of information overload as humanity and technology converge and presenting technological singularity and post-humanism as both a terrifying and transformative moment for mankind and nature."

===Digital===

Whilst the digital version of the album is officially listed as the same as the CD version, some download sites have listed it with the band's ~~eponymous~~ [[How To Destroy Angels (album)|first EP ]] included as "bonus tracks".

==Release==

[[wiki:Kevin Martin (British musician)|The Bug]] was originally to appear on the album, providing a musical hook for one of the tracks (which one is unknown). However, as [[Mariqueen Maandig]] "couldn't get happy with her voice on it"[sic], the hook was ultimately scrapped. The Bug has stated he'll use it in his own music in the future.[https://twitter.com/thebugzoo/status/303918496440537088]

Like the band's ~~[[How To Destroy Angels (album)|~~first EP]], the CD and vinyl versions of the album have different artwork. Due to a printing issue, the vinyl edition of the album was delayed until the 19th of March.
