Background and recording

On May 2009, Tonic Breed won a live competition in Hvaler, Norway. The first prize was a full studio recording in Ocean of Time Studios in Fredrikstad, Norway.

The recording started July 2010 and finished two months later. Except for some guest performances in 2011, On the Brink of Destruction was the last project to involve Bjørn Myhren before he left the band.

Before the recording, Tonic Breed had ten songs to be recorded. Two songs, Don't Fail Again and Oblivion, had already been recorded as demos in 2008. All songs ended up on the first album, except an unknown song called Who I Am.
