Writing and recording

According to Connolly, drums and main guitars recorded at Architekt Music in Butler, New Jersey, with Mike Ferretti.

Also they tracked all bass while out on tour with Sevendust in Canada and the Midwest.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nataliezworld.com/2017/07/projecteds-john-ignites-his-insanity.html|title=Projected's John Ignite's His Insanity|website=Nataliezworld.com|access-date=25 December 2021}}
