Marathon was formed in 2019 by Mark Kelly, the keyboard player with Marillion. Together with Guy Vickers, Oliver M. Smith (vocalist), Pete 'Woody' Wood (guitar,) John Cordy (guitar), Henry Rogers (drums) and his nephew Conal Kelly (bass), Mark Kelly turned his vision into reality. Marillion bandmate Steve Rothery also joined the band and contributed the lead guitar to the song 'Puppets'. The band recorded their debut album in separate locations between March and July 2020 in lockdown during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The members of the band came together (some meeting for the first time) at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios on the 28th and 29th of July to record and film a live version of the album, which is available in this edition as a Bonus DVD.
