Recording

Recording took place at Zing Studios, Westfield, Massachusetts in the United States in May 2007.[1] Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage acted as producer. Discussing the recording process, McCall explained: "The songs, the sounds, the speed, the heaviness and the production has all been stepped up. Working with Adam again made our job super easy as well as highly enjoyable."[2]
