Factoring in album equivalent units, it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.
The band had formed as early as 2012, but was largely relegated to local live shows and touring until 2017, with the band's release of the EPsBlack Smoke Rising and From the Fires. The band found success with the releases, namely with the singles "Highway Tune" and "Safari Song", which both topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, for five and three weeks respectively. With the songs' success, they moved to record a full length album, while still actively touring in support of the EPs.
