Sound engineer for the recording sessions was again Dennis Ward, who also recorded the band's previous album, "Hoodoo".Drummer Freddy Steady left KROKUS in May 2011 because he "concluded that he really wanted to play music just for fun in small clubs rather than conquering the world, playing arenas on huge stages with pyro props, etc.," according to guitarist Fernando Von Arb.KROKUS has since recruited Flavio Mezzodi as the band's new drummer.KROKUS is:Marc Storace - Lead VocalsChris Von Rohr - Bass, VocalsFernando Von Arb - Guitar, VocalsMark Kohler - Guitar Mandy Meyer - GuitarFlavio Mezzodi - Drums
