BREATHEcast interviewed one of the band's vocalists Stephen Keech last year, and he explained the very beginnings of recording the record.

They key to the new record is that every member who has ever been in Haste the Day is involved with the project. The band is kind of split in two between their old lineup and the one before disbanding. This in itself was truly a feat.

"Deciding to make this record has been a difficult process. And when you bring so many people together in any scenario it can be hard to keep everyone on the same page. But through many phone conversations and email threads we have finally figured out what it looks like to do a new record," said Keech to BC. "I don't think anyone had to have the arm twisted to make the record. We all love making music, and we miss making music together. This is going to be a very different record for us, though. We all are adults and have our own lives, and those lives are scattered around the us. Mike, Brennan, Jimmy, Devin, and Jason all still live in Indianapolis. But Scotty lives in California. Giuseppe lives in Pittsburgh. Dave lives in Brooklyn, and I live in Nashville where we will be recording the majority of the record. We probably will be using the Internet to help us communicate while we write this record."

This will be HTD's first album since 2010's Attack of the Wolf King. The band called it quits in 2011 and documented their final show with a live album. Coward was funded on Indiegogo as the band hit their $65,000 goal fairly quickly.
