Keulamies Phil Rind kommentoi levyä ja uutta kokoonpanoa seuraavasti:
Going into it, we had a loose idea as far as knowing that we wanted some fast, heavy songs to honor the old school fans that have supported us and gotten us to this point. We wanted everything to happen naturally. We didn’t want to force anything and we are super stoked with every song. It is easily the best thing we have ever done. Regardless of what happens with the record, the experience of making it was enough to satisfy us. Obviously we hope people like it, but even if it tanked, it could not change the way we feel about it. We know what we did.
Dave is such a killer drummer and person. He works every day to become a better drummer, and I mean every day. His work ethic is inspiring. As much as he has accomplished, he is still open to what comes. Joey brings a higher level of musicianship and tightness to our band, and he brings a freshness to us. He gives us an opportunity for us to see things from a different perspective, and all of us were blown away by what he can do with a guitar and how effortlessly he does it.

Sacred Reich nähdään pitkällä Euroopan kiertueella marraskuussa 2019. Kiertue käynnistyy Kööpenhaminasta 8.11.2019, mutta jättää muutoin Skandinavian väliin. Saksassa bändi on kuitenkin mahdollista nähdä peräti kuudella keikalla joulukuussa.
