Despite being the band's second full-length release, Until Your Heart Stops represents the first time Cave In went into a studio to record a full album together. The album also marks the first time they would play as a four-piece, as it was recorded in the midst of a major line-up change, going through two vocalists and one bassist.[3]
The actual writing of the album took place during the recording sessions of Cave In's previous release, compilation Beyond Hypothermia, which was a collection of Cave In's older songs, which they re-tracked, and in some cases, re-recorded.[3]
