It was released via Massacre Records and follows the previous year's offering, ''Sit Stand Kneel Prey''.

The album marked a return to the three-piece line-up which recorded the band's first two albums between 1985 and 1987 – famously all called Tony. In 1999, Massacre Records released a compilation of previously unavailable demo and live tracks, entitled ''Messages in Blood'', before the untimely death of Tony Bono.

Loudwire named ''Thrashback'' the best thrash metal album of 1998.<ref>{{Cite web|last=DiVita|first=Joe|title=Best Thrash Metal Album of Each Year Since 1983|url=https://loudwire.com/best-thrash-album-each-year/|access-date=2021-10-21|website=Loudwire|language=en}}</ref>
