"Me and Munky haven't been playing guitar together for eight years, so we came in just wanting to jam out with the bass player Fieldy and Ray, our drummer. I love rock music, and I came here just wanting to do the old Korn vibe, but with a new twist. It’s a little more melodic and a little more aggressive at the same time." Head added in an interview with Rolling Stone that "I'm a metalhead. Regarding the sound, Munky says, "The new music is inspired by our Issues album, or even Untouchables, that era. "Spike in My Veins" was originally written and recorded with Noisia for inclusion on J Devil's debut album, but ended up being reworked as a Korn song. The track "Lullaby for a Sadist" was originally written in 2010 prior to the idea of a dubstep-infused album, but the song did not make the cut for Korn III: Remember Who You Are. The track "Love & Meth" leaked on Septemafter the band had released several previews. The first single, " Never Never", was officially released on August 12, 2013.

James "Munky" Shaffer stated that the album would contain darker elements similar to Issues (1999) mixed with the heaviness of Untouchables (2002).
