Album information

Abysmal Dawn began recording Leveling the Plane of Existence in May 2010. The drums were recorded at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad with the rest of the instrumentation being produced and recorded by Mike Bear at Artisan Road Studios in Encino, California. This album was being mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Charles Elliot commented on the album;

"After a series of set backs, illness, and going through a world of shit in our personal lives, we had no choice but to make this record our revenge and the defining moment for Abysmal Dawn. We've had the finished mixes for about a week now and everyone that has heard it has been just blown away. We can already tell that this will be the record that the band will become known for. It's a very varied, extreme, technical, and melodic record and I can promise you that no one will be disappointed.[2]"
