The Powerless Rise was produced by Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and Daniel Castelman, and was mixed by Colin Richardson and Martyn Ford.[5][6] Adam Dutkiewicz also produced As I Lay Dying’s An Ocean Between Us.

One critic said of the album, “fans of metalcore in general, and As I Lay Dying in particular, will be more than satisfied with The Powerless Rise, as the band’s gradual progression and consistency makes this their best album”.
