The End Records release sees Hinder returning to their hard rock and alternative roots after a string of successful mainstream rock albums. This album, released in 2015, marks a notable point in their discography.

• "When the Smoke Clears" was released on May 12, 2015, by The End Records. The album was produced by a team including veteran rock producer Dave Bassett. It charted at number 40 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums chart.
• The album was released almost a decade after the band's most commercially successful period. Hinder's previous album, 'Welcome to the Freakshow,' was released in 2012.
• The album was released in 2015, a year before the band would again change record labels and begin recording new material. This record was the band's last with founding members Cody Hanson and Mark King.

Hinder is a post-grunge band from Oklahoma City, best known for their 2005 debut album, Extreme Behavior. When the Smoke Clears was released late in their career, after a period of lineup changes and shifting label homes.
