Background and release

Jason Kerrison, Opshop's lead singer, said of the title of Until the End of Time "it's more of a romantic notion than a cataclysmic one. Human society has found itself in a time where you've got an unprecedented number of cultures predicting an end time, and you know, is that a sheer fluke."^[1]

The album was released on the Rhythmethod label on 2 August 2010.^[2]

Critical reception
