Controversy
editIn July 2014 the band received negative attention for a publicity stunt to promote this album, where the band reported that frontman Danny Leal was missing.[2] The band later posted the album cover for the album which was still unreleased, which showed Leal tied up in the background, thus revealing the whole angle to be a joke. Since then, the band refused to apologize.[3]
