In early 2013, it was announced that Spencer Costello had parted ways with the band, and due to this Sam Graves who was previously the guitarist and the initial frontman of the band, became the main vocalist once again, with Alex Scott taking his place on guitar.[6] The band released their second EP in 2013[7] along with a music video for 'Until The End'.[8] In January 2014, it was announced that the band had been working on their debut album titled The Fearless Ones and was set to be released on 14 April the same year. The announcement was followed with a release of a single of the same name from the record.[9] On 3 March 2014, the band released preorders for the album on iTunes, which included the playlist and a new song was included with the preorder, "Broken". On the album, there will be rerecordings of four old songs: "Hell We Create", "Forgive, Never Forget", "After the Suffering", and "Wake It Up". On 29 March, the band announced that Joe Graves had left the band to pursue a career in musical engineering, however this has not hindered the bands progress in releasing the album and has not disrupted their touring.[10]

He described the song "I'm Taking Over (Thanks to You)" as a hybrid of In Flames and A Skylit Drive.[12]
