Smith, who mostly worked as a bass player in other groups before joining the band, was pressured to learn how to scream in just a matter of few days in preparation for the EP's recording, as he did not know how to properly do it prior.[2] Some additional screamed vocals are also provided by guitarist, Zack Hansen.
