 Due to Jeff Pilson's commitments with Foreigner, main producing duties for the new album were handled by Grammy Award winning engineer/producer, Ryan Greene, whose credits include Megadeth and NOFX.Pilson and Craig Goldy would make guest appearances on the album as did legendary bassist Rudy Sarzo on the song "Bang".Continuing the tradition of covering at least one classic track on each album, the band cut "Overture" / "The Temples of Syrinx" / "Grand Finale" off of "2112" by Rush, which is featured as a bonus track.
