LINER NOTES
LANGUAGE
It was recorded between August and October 2009 with Peter Wichers of Soilwork producing — the first time a working guitarist rather than an outside producer sat at the desk for this band. Warrel Dane sings, Jeff Loomis plays guitar, Jim Sheppard bass and Van Williams drums; there is no second guitarist on it.
It came out in Europe on 28 May 2010, in North America on 8 June, and in Japan on 21 July through Avalon (MICP-10929). It was the band's first record to chart in several countries, Austria and Belgium among them.
Loomis and Williams left in 2011 and the band stopped. Warrel Dane died in Brazil in December 2017, which makes this the last studio album to carry his voice. The reunion was announced at the end of 2024 and began playing in the summer of 2026. The running order here is the standard CD's (Century Media 9979812).
