The album was produced by Page Hamilton and mixed by award winning record producer, engineer and mixer Jay Baumgardner.

ABOUT HELMET 

The Grammy-nominated band Helmet has released eight widely acclaimed albums since their formation in 1989. They are renowned for fusing Zeppelin-esque riffs with a post-hardcore precision, combining dense chords with off-beat time signatures complementing Hamilton’s formal jazz training. The combination was that rarest of visionary creations–it was successful in its own time. Bands such as the Deftones, Rise Against, Pantera and TOOL have all cited Helmet as an influence.
