Former co-vocalist Vince Matthews and former drummer Eric Seyanga departed in 2005 to form the band Covenance. Gallagher once again found a new member, drummer Duane Timlin. With this line-up, Gallagher promised to record what he called "our most brutal album yet".
It is perhaps Dying Fetus' most politically influenced album, containing lyrics that tackled the "war on terror", "reality" TV, and the flaws in the American justice system.

gollark: I said "it might be better not to", not "ALL NON-C GAMES ARE GARBAGE".
gollark: Older MC versions used to be sensible and still in Java, but they mucked it up because now it allocates hilarious amounts of objects for no good reason.
gollark: People *do* write games in higher-level languages, even though maybe it would be better to not do that.
gollark: But it's a popular one.
gollark: It is not.
