The Code Is Red...Long Live the Code

The album was recorded at Foel Studios in Wales between 21 September and 13 October 2004. Russ Russell recorded, produced and mixed it, and then mastered it himself at Orchard Road Studios in Finedon, Northamptonshire, from 30 November to 2 December; he is also one of the writers of the closing "Our Pain Is Their Power". The booklet lists four members: Barney Greenway on vocals, Shane Embury on bass, Mitch Harris on guitar and Danny Herrera on drums. Three guest singers appear. Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed is on "Instruments of Persuasion" and "Sold Short", the former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra on "The Great and the Good", and Jeff Walker, formerly of Carcass, on "Pledge Yourself to You". Biafra's part was recorded in San Francisco, at El Bueno Mundo studios, on 6 November 2004. Greenway said later that before this album the band would never have thought of bringing in guest vocalists. Embury adds a second rhythm guitar on "Morale". Century Media Records released the album in April 2005. The limited European digipak, 77587-8, adds the bonus track "Losers" as track 13 and a video for "Morale", directed and edited by Mitch Harris. In Britain the album reached number 12 on the Rock & Metal Albums Chart. The running order here is the fifteen tracks of the standard CD, 77587-2.
