The work was finalised in july and released in august.

After that, the EP was made available on Youtube channel "NWOTHM Full Albums", where's received great response from the audience, as well as the success of "I Wanna Play The Sound", released on the group's channel and which earned the band another hit single and his first official music video, released in June 2018.

The album was produced by band itself with mixes and mastering by Luke D.
