Erik Rutan (Misery Index, Cannibal Corpse, Goatwhore) is the man in charge of production duties for the record, and Freddy Cricien had the following to say about working with Rutan on the record:
Erik has been great to work with. He’s definitely a perfectionist, which I have no problem with. It’s going to benefit us in the end! He’s got his own techniques like everyone does, so he’s going to bring a different dynamic into the sound/mix. I’m excited for people to hear the finish product. I predict it will be very HARD!
Drummer Jay Weinberg (son of Max Weinberg) recently joined the band’s line-up and it’s his drumming that will be heard on the record, and he who will tour with the band when they tour Canada with Comeback Kid in September.

All of us have ideas from before and after the tour last summer, and are excited to get into the studio and see those ideas come to light.
