"This album was recorded in two stages over 2 years.
Between April 2004-2005, getting Atma's drums tracked
was the first step. We went for a live feeling with
recording the drums, with Steve and I playing with
Atma as we went along, song by song. Never an easy
feat, trying to get everyone in the same room, when
you've got 3 guys with pretty busy schedules amongst
themselves! That's why you won't see the 3 of us in a
picture together in a picture. That, and we forgot to
take one of the three of us!
In 2006, I was in kidney failure, and not on the road
with Nevermore at this point anymore. It was during
this time, I actually found the time to get tracking
done for Steve and I. Around Steve's busy schedule,
and my treatment schedule, we found times to get
together and track. I could only manage to track
myself or record Steve when my energy level was up
(usually the next day after dialysis), but as you can
see in some of these pics, my sense of humor wasn't
lost on the camera! Enjoy these, and we'll add more
soon..."
