In January 2008, Biohazard's classic lineup of Evan Seinfeld, Billy Graziadei, Danny Schuler, and Bobby Hambel made the announcement that rehearsals had begun for a 2008 summer tour, to commemorate the band's twentieth anniversary. They toured Australia and New Zealand in April with Chimaira, Throwdown, Bloodsimple, and headliners Korn. The band also took part in Persistence Tour 2009 and announced at one of their shows that they were working on a new record. It was also noted that the album would be dedicated to Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele, who died in April 2010. Biohazard brought in producer Toby Wright to work on the album and after several months at Graziadei's Firewater Studios in Los Angeles, the band completed their recording sessions.
