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, This was the last project to involve Bjørn Myhren before he left the band. Anders Bekken joined the band for short time because of the Norwegian army in 2011.
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 in 2007 called Who I Am.
Aftermath
The new version of the song had its release a year and a half after the release of debut album, it was remixed and remastered by Beau Hill. The remake got the added title Put to Death. It has no changes from the original song in the actual songwriting. The main difference lays in the sound, but there are minor differences in the actual mix of the two songs. It was released in March 5, 2012.
