At the end of March, the band officially acquired a new drummer by the name of Luke Holland, however, Holland was not included for the recording sessions of ''Life Cycles''. The drumming for the record was instead recorded by a friend of the band, and drummer for the band Sleepwalker, Matt Horn, wherein Holland joined after these sessions were already completed.〔(Alternative Press | News | Drummer Justin Salinas and keyboardist Dusty Riach no longer in the Word Alive )〕 On April 1, 2012 during a show at the Extreme Thing festival in Las Vegas, Smith announced that the album would be released on July 3, 2012.〔(Alternative Press | News | The Word Alive to release "Life Cycles" on July 3; check out a new song )〕 During the album session a total of 17 tracks were recorded, although only 13 of the tracks made it on the album.
