Mabbitt also praised Gilmore for his ability to perfect the album without affecting their music. we just like to be very diverse." On working with producer Don Gilmore, the band said that he helped them "find themselves" and continue to push different parts of the song until they formed a record they were satisfied with. " definitely could have been like, ‘Oh, let's throw another minute-long solo, let's do a chugga-chug here, let's scream over this, and let's sound like every other band and put the same song on the record ten times so that we have a one song, ten different track album.'. For writing, Craig Mabbitt expressed that he believes it is more important to focus on what the band enjoys doing rather than copying other bands for success. In an interview, he explained the choice of direction for the album in that they were, "figuring out what we enjoy playing live, what we enjoy listening to on our record." Mabbitt feels that the past two albums have been working up to Escape the Fate and that this direction will continue with future releases. Lyrically, the album is heavier and darker than previous efforts, according to Mabbitt. In addition, the debut on a major label also led to the band choosing to self-title the album.

"Interscope was hopping on board with us, instead of us hopping on board with Interscope." In the same press release, they have listed Don Gilmore as the album's producer, who has worked with bands such as Linkin Park, Bullet for My Valentine, and Hollywood Undead. The band was initially worried about switching but were pleased that neither the new label or the new producer wanted to change or control the band. Craig Mabbitt stated that the band had no issues with Epitaph but the appeal to bring their music to a wider audience led to their signing with Interscope. On July 26, Escape the Fate confirmed that the new record will be released through major record label, DGC/Interscope Records. This would make the record the first to be released without Epitaph Records. Max responded by saying that he will reveal all of that at a later time. ![]() ĭuring early recording, Max Green was questioned on Formspring about the band possibly changing record labels.
