Recorded between winter 2009 and fall 2010. All sounds improvised from guitar, amp, and effects pedals. The monologue was recorded by Matt Finney and arranged by a death cinematic. The New World text was written and read by Matt Finney. Prelude To The New World text which makes up the track titles was written by a death cinematic.

Included the book "Prelude To The New World". This is a small format hand made version of a previously released very limited larger book of the same title (SBC - 013). All the pages were scored, folded and cut by hand, printed on bright white paper and stitched together. The horse stamp was drawn and designed by simple box construction and is based on a drawing entitled Thou Art The Hopes Slain By The Hands Of Our Enterprise. Each page in the book was hand stamped. The stamping process ultimately destroyed the stamp as with each page the stamp was altered and cut away. Each book is hand-bound in acid free brown charcoal paper and black linen tape. All the covers were also hand cut and stamped.
