The band's debut single "Innoncent Guilty" was released on April 29, 2016, with a lyric video via YouTube.[3] On May 21, the band had a listening party for fans, media and friends at Mexico City, where they debuted the album.[4] "Bomb Maker" was released as second single on June 5, 2017, with a music video directed by Lack of Remorse's singer Andrei Pulver.[5]
