According to drummer Jeff Singer the recording process for their upcoming album has been very different to the experience of recording the group\'s self-titled tenth album. Says the drummer:

\"The last [self-titled] album was very much a case of \'go with the flow\' as I came in very late with the writing pretty much finished. There were bits and pieces changed during pre production but it was about fitting in the right drum parts without much time to work on them and although I think it is a great album I didn\'t feel I had time to work with the songs and really create my feel. Being the \'newbie\' at that time meant just keeping my head down and getting the job done. Two and a half years later and after touring with the band I felt a lot more settled, part of the unit and very much part of the creative process.\"

Singer states that producer Rhys Fulber bolstered him up big time and was totally confident and positive with regard to his performances:

\"This is incredibly important to us delicate flowers that they call musicians.... alright drummers! We concentrated very much on getting a great drum sound (thanks Gretsch and Sabian) and trying to get a perfect take during recording as opposed to edits or drop-ins. We also worked harder on tempos to make sure each song had a better flow and it really shows. (...) So what can you expect? Very heavy, very dark and lots of double bass drums...\"
