Forté magazine's reviewer described the album's concept with "central themes surrounding the idea of 'impending doom' and 'the purging of your power'".[4] Toxicon supported Purge's release with a tour including Adelaide, country Victoria, Melbourne and Sydney gigs.[3][5][4]

The single "Circling" was released in May 2017, along with an accompanying music video. A subsequent national tour was announced alongside the release of the single.
