The album was recorded under the watchful eyes of producer Juan Urteaga (EXODUS, HEATHEN, MACHINE HEAD),
guitarist Eric Peterson and singer Chuck Billy and was mixed and mastered by well-known metal producer Andy Sneap
(ACCEPT, ARCH ENEMY, CRADLE OF FILTH, KREATOR, MACHINE HEAD, MEGADETH). Commented Peterson in an
interview with Metal Maniac: “It’s very diverse, but it’s very epic. There’s nothing on there that breeds commercial. And I
think for thirty years of recording music and trying different formulas and stuff, I think we’ve found a formula that is very
metal. I think for the metal fan that is looking for something for the nook and crannies… not just your normal, ‘Oh, it’s got a
thrash beat and a riff.’ There’s a lot going on here.” The songwriter also told Metal Forces in another interview: “It’s
different. This one is more thrash. I mean, this has got some of the fastest stuff that we have ever played. Usually, we
have one or two thrash songs, and then we have some mid-tempo, and then we have a slow, heavy one, and then up-
tempo kind of stuff. Half of the new record is thrash, which we’ve never done before.” He continued: “It’s kind of like
»Demonic« and »The Gathering«, but a little bit wiser, I think. Chuck’s not singing so death. I mean, he does some death
stuff but he’s singing more like he did on the last record and then with the craziness of »The Gathering« or even heavy
stuff like »Demonic«.”
