Background
Vocalist Chris Barnes gives an explanation about the album:
"Our new album does not sound like any of our previous albums. Just as Haunted didn't sound like Tomb of the Mutilated (from Barnes's previous band Cannibal Corpse), just like Maximum Violence didn't sound like Warpath, just like Undead didn't sound like 13. If you are expecting it to sound like one of our other albums, you will be disappointed. Saying that, the new music we have recorded is fucking insane."[12]
Barnes also described the album as "the most brutally intense, groove-laden masterpiece we've ever put together!"[11]
