Chevelle unveiled "Take Out the Gunman" on their Vevo and YouTube channel on February 3, 2014, and put it out as a single the next day, the first taste of La Gárgola, their seventh album, on Epic. Joe Barresi produced it; the music is credited to the band and the words to Pete Loeffler.
Sound and Motion Magazine heard it as the whole Chevelle playbook crammed into one song, every familiar tone, rhythm and vocal move present with only a couple of small twists, and still found it fresh enough to leave listeners hungry for more. Loudwire later ranked it the fourth-best song the band ever made.
