The first single of the album is “Reign Of Error” with a video directed by Displaced / Replaced.
Michael Crain said of the song: “’Reign of Error’ was recorded almost as quickly as it was written and I believe there’s a very good explanation for it. I haven’t told anybody this before, least of all the rest of the band or Ross, but I honestly felt a strong presence in the studio that day. Those riffs flew out of me and when Dave sat down at his kit it was almost as if we’d played that song a thousand times before. It literally just happened so fast. Bam! One take. I’m not trying to paint a dark or fantasy-like story either. Having just escaped death and still healing from my cancer treatments I was incredibly sensitive to energy and the other side. There was someone else there. Not evil but benevolent and inspiring. I honestly believe it was Dave’s old bandmate and friend Jeff. I think he just wanted to jam with his friend again and perhaps did so through me. There I said it. Whether people believe it or not I really don’t care. I’m just grateful that I had that experience.”

No tour dates have been announced yet due to the agoraphobia case that Mike Patton went/is going thru. He did say that he hopes that they could tour in support of the album and that he has a couple of Mr. Bungle dates scheduled and that if those go well for him mentally that he is more than open to go on tour with Dead Cross.
