Ahead of the EP's release, the band issued a cryptic note regarding the recording: “How do you weaponize the insatiable thirst for life among vultures? How do you deprogram the coroner dissecting hiatus ? What light beckons you from the sewers of suggestion? Is your instinct extinct ? Or does it hide in the flash burn of counterfeit automatons? 5 boys with guilty slingshots swaying to the Midwitch Sound. Blinded by the DIAMANTÉ.” Diamanté is the last official recording from the band before going on indefinite hiatus.
The EP saw a limited 4,000 vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2017 in the United States. It was released for streaming in January 2018.It received generally favorable reviews.
