History

In early 2013 solo guitarist Keith Merrow announced via his Facebook page that he and former Nevermore guitarist Jeff Loomis would record an album together.[3] In July 2013 Merrow and Loomis, now going by the name Conquering Dystopia, launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in order to fund the recording of the album and announced that the band's lineup would also feature Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster and former The Faceless drummer Alex Rüdinger. The campaign goal of $15,000 was reached in less than 24 hours.[4]

In December 2013 Conquering Dystopia recorded the album at the Audio Hammer Studios with producer Mark Lewis.[5]

Production
gollark: I run Discord in the browser, personally, to mildly reduce RAM use and data gathering, and use old reddit because new reddit is just terrible.
gollark: I've not heard of that, but that's !!FUN!! too!
gollark: It's really irritating that the web has reached a state where we only have something like two different browser engines, they contain horrendously complex and vast amounts of code which new projects probably can't replicate, websites regularly use hundreds of megabytes of RAM for some reason, and a bunch of "desktop" apps effectively just ship an entire copy of Chrome to run in.
gollark: I find Firefox's inter-device syncing and password manager pretty nice, but most browsers do that anyway now.
gollark: Mostly I use an extension to download single-file HTML copies of webpages when I'm archiving them anyway.
