A music video was released for opening track "Bland Street Bloom" while "Flogging the Horses" was released as an EP single.
In a 2016 track-by-track guide with Louder Sound, vocalist and primary lyricist Mikee Goodman stated that Death of a Dead Day was the hardest album he made lyrically. The album's lyrical themes range from topics such as war ("Flogging the Horses"), anti-hate ("Sanguine Seas of Bigotry"), and the music industry ("Part of the Friction"), along with other topics and themes.[3]
