For the production of their 8th studio album, frontman Daniel Kuhlemann, guitarist Michael Klingenberg, bassist Jonas Hölscher, and drummer Johannes Jörg enlisted a true all-star crew that has translated the quartet's musical vision into a sound that is both bombastic and atmospheric.
The new record was primarily recorded in the band's own studio in Munich in collaboration with co-producer Christoph von Freydorf and with Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner at his Kohlekeller Studios, before the tracks were mixed in Los Angeles by Joseph McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Bad Wolves, Bury Tomorrow) and finally mastered in Nashville by Ted Jensen (Gojira, Korn, Bring Me The Horizon).
Completing "Come Alive Dying" is the breathtaking artwork by renowned British 3D artist Phil Radford, aka MayaGuy, who perfectly captured the thematic concept of the album. All videos for the album were produced by filmmaker and director Mirko Witzki (Caliban, Any Given Day, Arch Enemy) and realized in collaboration with Phil Radford and the band.
For more than fifteen years, the formation founded in 2005 has been captivating an international fan community with their modern metal sound, blending influences from metalcore, thrash, and industrial metal into their completely unique and instantly recognizable trademark style.

Overall, the album entered the digital charts in more than fifteen countries and generated over 10 million global streams.
