“One word is pain. We had an excellent plan and it did not go according to plan. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. It was tedious. Hours, upon hours, upon hours of troubleshooting. It was ridiculous,” complains Abildgaard. After completing recording, the band chose Alchemy Studios' Jessica Charlton for mixing and mastering, who has worked with a who’s who of local music alongside big name acts like Nas and Queens of the Stone Age. They were extremely impressed with the professional touches that Charlton provided. The last challenge was just finding a damn title.
