Unlike previous albums which were released by labels, ''Into the Black'' was self-released. According to Graves, this was an intentional move towards running the band free of label intervention, due to a belief that the label industry model was "dying". He has talked about his experience with the difficulties of touring, including minimal revenue, logistical issues and contract arrangements that require the band to front many costs which are only recouped if the tour is successful.
