The End Is Where We Begin is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch. It was released in the United States on April 17, 2012 and in Canada on May 8, 2012. Vocalist Trevor McNevan has stated "the record is some of the heaviest stuff we've done and some of the lightest".

Background
On November 29, 2011, they announced that they would be leaving Tooth & Nail Records to release the album independently. The band has set up a webpage offering various fans pre-release packages in exchange for advance support for the costs in recording and releasing the album.

The official release date was announced as April 17, 2012, via the band's Twitter feed.

"War of Change" was used by WWE as the official theme song to their Over the Limit 2012 pay-per-view event.

The song "Light Up The Sky", is featured in the official EA Sports NHL 13 Video Game Soundtrack, which features sixteen songs in the official version. This song also has been played in several FM Radio stations all around Canada and the United States.

The album debuted at No. 14 on the US Billboard 200, selling 23,000 copies. The album also debuted No. 1 in "Hard Rock" and "Christian" albums. The songs "Courtesy Call" and "War of Change" were both certified platinum and gold in the United States by the RIAA, respectively.
