Background
Production
Caleb Shomo is the lead vocalist, guitarist, bassist, drummer and the lyricist. According to Shomo, the process for developing this album was difficult compared to the others as Shomo explored outside the confines of his basement. Shomo says "I wanted to get a different vibe on this record," meaning he chose to go to studios around the world. His regular strategy for a song he was working on was to write them in his basement and play them on programmed instruments to get a feel for how it would sound and play it on actual instruments later: working on "Disease" being actual studio gave him the opportunity to play on the instruments immediately and get the sounds he wanted faster.
