Background
In January 2015, the band announced they are to enter a studio to write and record a new album due in late-2015.
On May 2, 2015, they released the title of the new album as Got Your Six. On May 19, 2015, they released the artwork for their new album and announced that the album will be released on August 28, 2015. They launched a preview for their new single titled "Jekyll and Hyde" in a special video message.

The release date was later moved forward a week to September 4, 2015.
Drummer Jeremy Spencer said of the new album in an interview, "I'm digging it, man. It's actually more brutal, with more extreme dynamics. There are some really mellow parts and then some really brutal parts. So we're running the whole gamut of sounds.".
