Background and recording
After the release of 30,000 Lbs, they signed into Pluto Records (As I Lay Dying, Horse the Band, and Society's Finest) on March 20, 2008. They would also meet Chris Owens (Breather Resist, Coliseum, Ed Gein) who'll help produce, engineer, and mix their second studio album Stone Age. It was recorded on Headbanging Kill Your Mama Music from March to April of 2008 and was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side. The album was released on July 8, 2008 and before the release, the band posted songs to their Myspace.
This was the last project that Rushman had worked on before his departure on September 24, 2008. He left due to "financial issues" from alternative press, turning the band to a trio and Matthew had to take over as vocalist. This was also the last project to be called My America Is Watching Tigers Die until 2016.
Reception
The LP received mixed reviews from Mammoth Press, Subba-Cultcha, V13 and Lambgoat.
Mammoth Press commented that the album was “a musical trip through a surprisingly catchy variant of violent and unpredictable hardcore.”
V13 stated that Rushman’s vocals were “irritating and annoying,” finishing the review with “not sure what the point in this disc is at all.”
