We don't know if we're all gonna be here next year, we really don't. So let's celebrate!

Following up the 2010 release of Absolute Dissent, the Killing Joke's original lineup of Coleman, Walker, Glover, and Ferguson worked for the release of the new album since 2011, writing and recording about twenty-six tracks mainly in Wiltshire in South West England. The album, produced by the band, was engineered, mixed, and programmed by Clive Goddard, Tom Dalgety, Michael Rendall, and Reza Udhin at Studio Faust Records in Prague. A track from the album, "Rapture", was made available for listening in February 2012. The music video for "In Cythera", the first single from the album, was uploaded to the KillingJokeVEVO's YouTube channel on 6 March. The single itself was made available to purchase on 19 March as a limited and numbered 12″ coloured vinyl, and as a CD featuring "Penny Drops" as an exclusive and unreleased track. The ten tracks album was released as a CD, a double coloured vinyl, and as a downloadable Internet album via iTunes with "New Uprising" as an exclusive track, on 2 April through the UK subsidiary of Spinefarm Records, and distributed worldwide via Universal Music Group. It was preceded by a UK tour and followed by an European tour.

2013 (MMXIII) will be a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. It will be the 2013th year of the Common Era, or of the Anno Domini designation; the 13th year of the 3rd millennium and of the 21st century; and the 4th of the 2010s decade. It will also be the first year to have all digits different from each other since 1987.

An album may be understood as a collection of recordings, released as a single package on gramophone record, cassette, compact disc, or via digital distribution, however the concept is found in printed music dating into the early nineteenth century in works by composers such as Schumann and Mendelssohn. The word derives from the Latin word for list.

Today, with the vinyl record no longer being used as the primary form of distribution, the term "album" can still be applied to any sound recording collection, such as those on compact disc, MiniDisc, Compact audio cassette, and digital or MP3 albums.Cover art is also considered an integral part of the album. Many albums also come with liner notes and inserts giving background information or analysis of the recording, reprinted lyrics, images of the performers, or additional artwork and text. These are now often found in the form of CD booklets.

Vinyl LP records have two sides, each comprising one half of the album. If a pop or rock album contained tracks released separately as commercial singles, these were often traditionally placed in particular positions on the album. A common configuration was to have the album led off by the second and third singles, followed by a ballad. The first single would lead off side 2. In the past many singles (such as the Beatles' "Hey Jude" and Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street") did not appear on albums, but others (such as the Beatles' "Come Together" and Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone") were part of an album released concurrently. Today, many commercial albums of music tracks feature one or more singles, which are released separately to radio, TV or the Internet as a way of promoting the album. Albums have also been issued that are compilations of older tracks not originally released together, such as singles not originally found on albums, b-sides of singles, or unfinished "demo" recordings.
