Recording and production

The recording process of the album began in May 2008 at the Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Florida with Chris Carroll.[5]

"It's great to be back in the studio and we feel really psyched to lay these new songs down. They are some of the best stuff we have come up with, and can't wait for all of our fans to hear the new stuff!!"

— Chris Barnes[5]

The album has so far proved slightly more popular amongst fans than Commandment. Kerrang also gave the album a rare '5K' rating.
