Background

In February and March 2006, the band went on a brief East Coast tour with A Global Threat, With Honor, and Subhumans.[5][6]

It was recorded April 2006 at Salad Days Studios by Brian McTernan. It was recorded on a series of weekends over a span of nine months as the band took time off touring to return to home life and move away from a hectic timetable to write and record an album.[7]

Composition

It contains songs that focus on the band's leftist political views, as well as branching out to discuss issues such as singer Thomas Barnett's grandfather's work on the Manhattan Project[8] on the opening track 'Sedition'.
