The album presents a shift in sound for the band, taking influence from the nu-metal of Korn, Slipknot, and System of a Down,[4] instead of the typical hardcore sound on At the End of My Wit and Give Me a Reason. This is characterized in Adam Easterling's vocal style and drumming and Williams's guitar work on songs like "The Anticipation", "Panic", and "Second Best". It album also has four vocal features, one from Zachary Hatfield of Left Behind,[5] Vincent Void (formerly of Darke Complex, currently in Omerta),[6] and Bryan Garris and Isaac Hale from Knocked Loose.
