Frontman Jacoby Shaddix previously stated he was apprehensive about visiting Vegas because of his history with drugs and alcohol and feared he wouldn't be able to stay focused. And while he now says the experience was positive, he reckons they wouldn't be alive today if they had chosen to record material there when they were younger.

Shaddix tells Artisan News: "It was a very cool place to make a record. We all went there consciously knowing that we just want to focus on the music. I think if we made that record in Vegas 10 years ago, I don't know if we would have made it out alive. So I think we went there at the right time."
