Alkaline Trio have posted the third in their series of studio videos discussing the recording of their upcoming record and debut for Sony/BMG. In this addition, Matt Skiba shows some footage from the recording sessions and discusses the variety of "axes" used on the record.

In the time since their previous record the band signed to V2 Music, which shortly afterwards was shutdown, landing the act at major label Epic Records (which falls under the Sony–BMG umbrella). In the past few years the popular act released a rarities and b–sides compilation via Vagrant titled Remains and frontman Matt Skiba performed in the duo Heavens.

A reissue of the Trio's fan–favourite 1998 full length Goddamnit is due this March via Asian Man Records.
