The CD, which contained previously unreleased tunes, an electric version of "Damaged" as well as a cover of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica was made available exclusively in the coffin kit.
In 2014, the band began working on what is to be their third studio album. In January 2015, the group posted a photograph on their internet site with the words Good Morning Apocalypse, the title of their upcoming work. Some time after mid-2014, Billson left the ensemble, with Lucas Kanopa replacing him some time later. The band released the album on October 14, 2016. In late 2018, Nikki Stringfield of American rock bands The Iron Maidens and Femme Fatale became a touring guitarist for the ensemble.
