Background

Carnifex were briefly signed to This City Is Burning in 2007, during so the group wrote and recorded Dead in My Arms during the proceeding months. Upon the album's release during the summer, it managed to sell over 5,000 copies in its first week despite very limited publicity.^[1] "Collaborating Like Killers", "Love Lies in Ashes" "Slit Wrist Savior" and "Hope Dies with the Decadent" were re-recorded tracks that had previously been included on the band's first EP, Love Lies in Ashes.

The original distributed versions of the album feature the song, "These Thoughts Become Cages" between "Intro" and "Slit Wrist Savior", containing 11 tracks in total, and 33 minutes and 15 seconds long in length, but later pressings have "These Thoughts Become Cages" absent leaving the length at 30 minutes and 17 seconds.

The disc features enhanced content and includes the controversial music video for "Lie to My Face" along with other extras.^[2]
