It was released on April 10, 2012.[1] It is the band's first studio album to feature guitarist Tony Sannicandro and bassist Nick Schendzielos, the second with former Despised Icon guitarist Al Glassman,[2] and the last album to feature drummer Jon Rice.
Demonocracy had first week sales of 4,900 to chart at No. 87 on the Billboard 200.[3]

On March 20, Job for a Cowboy premiered the song "Black Discharge"[5] and, on April 2, the song "Imperium Wolves."[6]
A music video was made for the song Tarnished Gluttony. The video features a man carrying a small child to a forest, before cutting the child open with a box cutter, replacing the organs with a cephalopod, and then gently placing the child into the sea.[7]
