 A previously unreleased gothic rock remix of "Troubled Times" was used in the title track, "Dark Masquerade".In an interview with "Black Gate Magazine", Midnight Syndicate composer, Edward Douglas, said "The Dark Masquerade" came about when Destini Beard sent the band a recording of her singing lyrics over top of one of their songs.The idea to include that song on the movie soundtrack to "The Dead Matter" (2010) and release an EP, came shortly thereafter.
