Former guitarist Tore Moren and bassist Nic Angileri left the band after the previous album, Bring Heavy Rock to the Land, to pursue solo careers.[2] The new line-up for Traveller includes Wig Wam guitarist Trond Holter and bassist Bernt Jansen.

A video clip for the title track "Traveller" featuring the new members of JORN was released on May 28, 2013 and a follow-up video for "Cancer Demon" was released five weeks later [3]
