The End Is Where We Begin is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch. It was released on April 17, 2012, in the United States, and was released in Canada on May 8, 2012. Vocalist Trevor McNevan has stated "the record is some of the heaviest stuff we've done and some of the lightest".[6]

Background[edit]

On November 29, 2011, they announced that they would be leaving Tooth & Nail Records to release the album independently. The band has set up a webpage offering various fans pre-release packages in exchange for advance support for the costs in recording and releasing the album.[6][7] Fans who donated to the band received early downloads of the songs "The End is Where We Begin" and "Courtesy Call" on January 7, 2012.[citation needed] The official release date was announced as April 17, 2012, via the band's Twitter feed.

"War of Change" was used by WWE as the official theme song to their Over the Limit 2012 pay-per-view event.[8]

The song "Light Up The Sky", is featured in the official EA Sports NHL 13 Video Game Soundtrack, which features sixteen songs in the official version.[citation needed] This song also has been played in several FM Radio stations all around Canada and the United States.[citation needed]

Commercial performance[edit]

The album debuted at No. 14 on the US Billboard 200, selling 23,000 copies.[9] The album also debuted No. 1 in "Hard Rock" and "Christian" albums.[citation needed] In September 2021 the song "Courtesy Call" was certified gold in the United States by the RIAA.[10]
