The first EP, titled "," was scheduled to be released on March 8, preceded by the first single "Chains". The song was streamed on Kenna's official website on February 22. On March 4, it was announced that there had been an unfortunate technical failure with the hard drive that stored the majority of the files that made up the songs for the EP and the album. Kenna rerecorded and reproduced all the songs, reworking the concept for the entire series. "Chaos and the Darkness" was eventually released on April 26, 2011, with "Chains" being available as a single on iTunes & Amazon on March 8.
