The album recording started in February 2014 when the band thought they might record one or two songs for a possible online release.
They ended up with 12 in that first session and decided to make a full album. This countdown tells the story of the album over the 2014/2015 recording period as told by the band in various interviews.

Vivian Campbell - 20th March 2015 Interview Quote - Read More
"It's a - it started off we cut live in the studio to get the rock element. That was the first part of it. And then we moved on and got more studio oriented tracks. more production heavy songs going on. And it's diverse but it all sounds like Def Leppard and it's a great, great record. The irony is I actually haven't had an awful lot to do with it. So I think they're better off without me in that regard. So I know next time we go into the studio I'm gonna go on vacation or something. leave them to it. But it's great and it should be out some time later in the year."

"It is just about finished yeah. It's not mixed and mastered yet and all the packaging and the artwork and stuff. So we're not in a hurry to release it. It won't be out until the second half of the year for sure. But it will definitely be released in 2015. And it's a great record actually. You know for those that know I'm the new guy in Def Leppard. I've been with the band for 23 years. But I've gotta say in the 23 years I've been the Ronnie Wood of Def Leppard this is the best record that we've made. So I'm real excited about that."
