Background and production
member Kevin Starrs initially placed the songs on MySpace and YouTube where they developed a fanbase who requested an album. For their first album, Volume I, they created approximately 30 CD-R copies of the album and with the money made for those releases, the group put into recording Blood Lust with better recording equipment. The album was recorded in a friend of Starrs garage. Starrs mentioned that the band "really did fall apart when we made Blood Lust." At the end of recording, the remaining members were the drummer and Starrs.The album cover references the poster for the West German film Mark of the Devil.

Starrs stated that when Rise Above released the album, he regrouped new members for the band to continue work on future albums.The album was released by Metal Blade Records on 20 November 2012.
