It is the second in a series of four EPs that make up the fifth studio album, Revelations, the other three being The Pale, The Red and The White, after the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.[3][4] It was released by Control Records on February 17, 2017, and peaked at number six on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart[5] and number one on the Heatseekers chart.[6][7]

The first single was Analog Flesh In A Digital World, released on February 10, 2017.
