In September 2009, Nachtmystium announced plans to release a follow-up album to "Assassins: Black Meddle, Part I" with an album titled "". Judd commented that the album would feature new material with "more of a rock and roll edge over all", and reflect the bands interest in post-rock and industrial music. The album debuted on June 8, 2010. The band played at the Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway, on April 3, 2010, where they shared the stage with Mayhem, Finntroll, and Taake. Nachtmystium also toured across the United States with Cradle of Filth and Turisas in early 2011.
