At that point, what had begun as a demo project for Leviathan, escalated within a few short months into a major recording production with world-class musicians on board. By early 2004, the majority of the songs were recorded and ready for mixing. It was then decided between the three guys that a keyboard player should be brought on to add some atmosphere to the album. King suggested his Pyramaze bandmate Jonah Weingarten. Leviathan spoke with Weingarten on the phone and the two agreed that Weingarten would fly out to Leviathan's home studio (Yanmonster Studio) to record the keys. The two locked themselves away for seven straight days working 15 hours each day and managed to write and record all of the parts within that time span.
