Recording Credits
Tim Pak recorded all studio tracks to 1/4" tape at Woodshed Studios, Oak Park, MI between 1997-1999. Live tracks recorded to cassette in Grand Haven, MI on 5/14/1999 by a very nice young man whose name is sadly lost to the ages. Practice tape recorded at the Monaghan home to 4-track Tascam, winter 1997.

Writing Credits
Though many of the ideas for these songs came from Scott Monaghan & Marty Herak, and to a lesser extent James Obenour & Charles Murphy, all were written by Hamilton as a collective, except "Children of the Grave" which was written by Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. "Reverse Noise" contains an interpolation of a song written and performed by Cancer Boy.

The Players
Drums: Brian Galindo played on 1-6, 12. Scott Monaghan played on every other track.
Bass: James Obenour played on all tracks.
Guitar: Marty Herak & Charles Murphy played on all tracks.
Vocals: Charles Murphy provided vocals on all tracks. Marty Herak & James Obenour provided backup screams on some tracks. Marty Herak did a pretty nice Ozzy impression on "Children of the Grave".

Photography Credits
