 While most of the music for the new album was finished and recorded, the band could not find a new singer, and the years passed by with the band remaining mostly inactive.As 2012, and with it the band's 30th anniversary, drew closer, the idea arose to record and release an album to celebrate it.The original plan had been to re-record "Nothing Left To Fear", but now the band decided to keep the six tracks they had already recorded for that and add other tracks.
