On August 30, 2011, As Cities Burn updated their Facebook status saying "Stay tuned for news regarding As Cities Burn". The band made a Twitter account shortly thereafter, through which they tweeted "Reunion show" followed by the hashtag #silyayd, which is an abbreviation for their album "Son, I Loved You at Your Darkest". They announced that they would be playing the album in its entirety with TJ at Unsilent Night, a festival in Dallas, TX. Barone was not present on stage in Dallas, but instead Kimble remained on bass while Lott took Kimble's place on rhythm guitar. On February 6, 2012, the band announced via their Facebook page that they would also be playing the full album in Nashville and Baton Rouge in April.
