It was released on August 23, 2024. It is a sequel to their 2014 album Phenomena and their first studio album since their 2009 debut Creature not to feature a track from the "Ataxia" instrumental track series, although it features a sequel track to the instrumental "Enigma" from the first Phenomena album.
Guitarist Joe Cocchi stated about the album, "We had written a handful of songs, and we were searching for inspiration. We wanted to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Phenomena, because it was a pinnacle point of our career. I wrote a demo that reminded [vocalist Steve Tinnon] of Phenomena. So, it was his idea to create Phenomena II. The styles really aligned in terms of the unique guitar effects and the themes where each track tells a story from a comic book character's point-of-view."
