The band features two former members of Savatage, namely vocalist Zachary Stevens and drummer Jeff Plate.
Leff and Rapoza played together for several years in the Boston area metal band "Trigger Effect".
Trigger Effect was chosen as one of the top unsigned bands in the United States by Sam Goody Record Stores, worked with producer Neil Kernon, and toured the Northeast as an opening act for Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche and Rob Halford.
When 13 songs were ready to be recorded for the Machines of Grace album, producer/engineer Paul David Hager was brought in.
It was mixed at Skip Saylor Studios in Hollywood, California and mastered at Sterling Sound in New York City.
