Monster Voodoo Machine was formed in Canada in 1991 by Toronto musician and vocalist Adam Sewell, inspired by bands like Quicksand, Black Flag and Discharge.
The original line-up included guitarist Mark Gibson, bassist Terry Landry and drummer Drew Gauley.
The album featured several guest appearances including Roddy Bottum of Faith No More, Leslie Rankin of Silverfish and Ruby, and Wesley Willis.
Around this time, the band also released a number of singles and EPs featuring remixes by artists such as Biohazard, DJ Muggs, KMFDM and Pigface.
However, shortly after that, the band announced that they were breaking up, and on October 4, 1996, they played a farewell show at the Volcano Club in Kitchener, Ontario.
featured Sewell, Cuddy, Sagias, Harris, and occasionally Quinn and Bentley, so they agreed and began planning a new album.
As the group began working on new material, Sewell decided to record the album without the use of samplers, keyboards, or drum loops (Sagias, the band's keyboardist, was still credited for backing vocals however).
After a few short tours with Queens of the Stone Age and Sevendust, the band played their final show in Montreal, Quebec.
