Life Cycles is the second studio album by American metalcore band The Word Alive. The album was released on July 3, 2012, through Fearless Records and was produced by Joey Sturgis.[3] The album features a heavier and more "metal-headed" sound as stated by lead vocalist Tyler Smith.[4] Life Cycles is the first release by the band to be without keyboardist, Dusty Riach, who parted ways with the band at the beginning of 2012.
During the album session a total of 17 tracks were recorded, although only 13 of the tracks made it on the album. A deluxe version was originally planned; however, it never came to fruition.[4] However, both Amazon and iTunes digital versions have a bonus track respectively.
