Production

Schuldiner contacted bass player Steve DiGiorgio and requested that he record new basslines to replace the ones recorded by Scott Clendenin. In some instances, DiGiorgio kept the bass lines recorded by Clendenin; he viewed it as a way to "return the favor", as Clendenin kept some of the bass lines that DiGiorgio played on the demos for the previous Death album, The Sound of Perseverance.[6]
