Background

edit

Larry Hawke from the band HatePlow originally did drums on the album but Phil wanted the drum tracks re-done; Alex Marquez ended up playing on the album due to Larry's incarceration for a DUI.[1] Roadrunner also requested that Brett to re-do his vocals but the band couldn't get him to and Roadrunner ended up dropping the band from their label. They ended up getting licensing deals for the subsequent labels they dealt with. In 2024, the band retains rights to all their post-Roadrunner albums.[citation needed]
