In a 2013 interview, when commenting on the recording of the album, vocalist Andre Matos said:[2]
The whole record was done basically in a week. It was like, 'One, two, three, go,' and the whole background was recorded almost live. Then there were some overdubs for the solos and stuff, and then it was my part to do the voice in two or three days. And I remember the last days my voice was completely ruined. I had no technique at all back then, and I completely ruined my voice. I had to record this last song called 'HR,' which translated means 'Heavy Rock', and we were even thinking about calling somebody else to sing it because I was not able to sing a single note. But then we said, 'Ah, we can do it a little bit more punk rock like,' so I could sing with my rough voice, which I was able to let go at that moment.

OBS: Val Santos was the drummer during most of the tour for this album. Felipe Machado played at the first show of the tour at Teatro Rio Branco and traveled the next day to finish high school in the US, returning a year later at the end of the tour, before the band starts working on the next album Theatre of Fate. During his absence was replaced by War Kings guitarist Rodrigo for some of the shows.
