On their MySpace blog, Breaking Benjamin stated, "We are busy crafting the new material and have several songs ready for the Bendeth production treatment." On November 20, 2008 lead singer Benjamin Burnley was interviewed on Cage Rattle and stated that he was writing so much for the new album that it was consuming his life. He also stated that he is getting no deadlines or pressure from the label on this album so he is taking his time. Ben did not divulge any information on the new album other than the fact that it could possibly have a cover of "Dream On" by Aerosmith, but that it would be changed to spread the similarities.
On June 22, David Bendeth posted this on a thread at the forum of Breaking Benjamin's main website:
Studio Update: "We have cut the drums for the soundtrack. Tomorrow we do guitars with Ben, then Aaron and Mark arrive. We should all be together on Thurs. When we really get in the flow we will do some live streaming and get some pictures together. Eventually we should do a chat and give regular updates as we did on the last two records. If anyone has ideas please pm me or write them here. Songs are coming together nicely, Ben is really focused and Chad kicked out a killer drum track on Saturday. Everyone is in good spirits and knows what they have to do to get the job done. These guys are all pros."
On September 23, 2009, Breaking Benjamin released the songs "Fade Away" and "Crawl," along with an online game, Altered Benjamin, featuring Ben as the main character.
