"Vitriola" marked the return of Cursive after a five-year absence, seeing the band re-sign with indie label 15 Passenger for their seventh studio album. The record was their first without founding multi-instrumentalist Gretta Miller.
- "Vitriola" was self-produced by the band at their practice space,onimo! Studio, in Omaha.
- The album was released on October 5, 2018, with the vinyl version featuring a 7-inch single of two previously unreleased tracks.
- The album's title, "Vitriola," is a portmanteau of "vitriol" and "viola," referencing both caustic criticism and the instrument that was notably absent from the recording sessions.
