On April 5, 2017, the band announced a headlining summer tour in support of the album.

The band released three brand new songs, "Pay the Man", "Doing It for the Money", and "SHC", in the form of the III EP on April 27, 2017. The tracks will also be featured on the band's upcoming third studio album, set to be released in June or July 2017. The album will be the first studio album to feature longtime touring musicians Sean Cimino and Isom Innis as official members.
