Strapping Young Lad guitarist Jed Simon has issued the following progress report on the recording for the group's follow-up to last year's 'Alien':

"Got most everything done on drums [on Tuesday, March 7]... Gene [Hoglan] will amaze you, as usual, with some sick drumming! [On Wednesday, March 8] we finish up at the Armoury.

"[On Thursday, March 9] we move on to Profile Studio for the rest of the month for everything else...guitar, bass, vocals, keys...then mixing, which I'm not sure where yet, but will let you know! We are taking pictures and film and will have some stuff available to view soon...

"This album really is a stomper, looking forward to getting it on the road!!!"
