Recording
After the release of The Soul Crush EP in September 2014, and the band's first shows in Russia, it was announced the band would be heading to LA to record the follow up to We Need Medicine. During the tour for that album, the band debuted new songs "All the Livelong Day", which later became "Impostors (Little By Little)" and "Too Much Wine". They went to record the new album during January 2014, and after various attempts they aborted the effort and decided to get Tony Hoffer back on board. During that session, "Me and the Devil" was the third song to make it on the record. Every other song was discarded for now.
"Rosanna" uses the same melody as a track released for free on Codeine Velvet Club's website called "Mellotron Boogie No 3", Jon stated at the time it would probably find its place somewhere one day. The title of the album comes from the bonus track "Medusa In Chains".
