Data Insight
The credit goes back to a single band line for all twelve tracks, dropping the lyrics-and-music split of the Howard Jones years. Leach is back, and so is the collective credit from 2002.
Disarm the Descent came out on Roadrunner in April 2013, the first album after Jesse Leach returned, and reached number 7 on the Billboard 200.
