Commented ARSIS guitarist/vocalist Jim Malone: "I can honestly say that this was the best recording experience that I have had in my years with ARSIS. Not only was Zeuss great to work with, but Ryan [Knight, guitarist], Darren [Cesca, drummer], and Noah [Martin, bassist] all did an outstanding job. We all worked together to create what I feel is the most accomplished ARSIS album to date. It's been a few weeks since we finished recording and I can still listen to the songs; that's a good sign."
ARSIS has posted photos from the video shoot for the song "We Are The Nightmare", on the band's MySpace blog (free registration may be required to view pictures).
