## Writing and recording

[edit]

According to Connolly, drums and main guitars recorded at Architekt Music in Butler, New Jersey, with Mike Ferretti. The band spent about 10 days in the studio tracking all the main parts, then moved to Connolly's home studio 1119 in Orlando, Florida to track vocals, solos and overdubs. Also they tracked all bass while out on tour with Sevendust in Canada and the Midwest.[8]

Ignite My Insanity is a double album featuring 21 songs.[9] The album features two songs co-written with guitarist Mark Tremonti, and one song co-written by drummer Morgan Rose.[9]

## Release and promotion

The album was officially announced in May 2017, with a prospective release window of July, later narrowed down to July 21, 2017.[10][11] The first single from the album, "Reload", was released on June 11, 2017.[12] A music video was released on the same day, primarily focused on the band performing in front of a white and red backdrop.[12] A second single, "Ignite", was released on July 16, 2017, alongside its own respective music video, featuring the band performing interspersed with clips of Connolly attempting to reach out to a woman.[13]
