"I'm excited to have the opportunity to continue making music with a group of amazing people, I'm loving what's coming out of us in the studio right now and things couldn't be going better. Escape the Fate is taking over the world, so buckle your seatbelts 'cause we're here to stay."

Bassist Max Green also discussed the direction of the new album in the press release:

"We've been through a lot of SHIZZNIT this last year, and we took all that anger, frustration and sadness and molded it into an album with huge rock choruses, in your face riffs and melodies, and drums that will give your parents a heart attack. This new album isn't going to be a hardcore metal album and it's not going to be a soft melodic album, we are who we are, we are Escape the Fate."

Max Green on discussing the new album with his fan site^{[citation needed]}

"Yes we are currently writing our new album. and its not going as amazing as our past album, we are evolving musically into something that is going to blow peoples minds. we have taken all our influences and merged them with our style of playing and are creating something amazing. i cant wait to release it!!!! we will probably be recording around march or april and it will probably be released shortly after."

Escape the Fate has recently announced an Australian/New Zealand tour, and it is believed that they will be showcasing many songs from the yet to be released album.
