The LP will feature the familiar faces of Greg Rogers (The Obsessed, Sonic Medusa) on drums, Greg Anderson (Sunn O)))) on guitar, Pete Stahl (Scream, Wool, Earthlings?) on vocals and new man Scott Renner (Brickbat, Sourvein, Sonic Medusa) on bass.

The album was produced by Grammy winner Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Rush, Alice In Chains, Mastodon and Ghost).
