[3] Unable to use the name due to copyright issues, the band changed their name to "Ultraspank" once they signed to a major record label.
Another project taken on in between the six-year gap between Lo-Pro's first and second albums was working with Ivan Moody, who afterward formed Five Finger Death Punch, and Jon Stevens, past guitarist of The Clay People, in their band Ghost Machine.
[10][11] Afterwards, Murray and Stevens continued to work together, forming a new band, called "Chokt", with Walter Flakus of Stabbing Westward.
Murray stated that the group "wouldn't be secret for long" in a 2008 interview, but has not revisited the project since he began releasing material in Lo-Pro again in 2009.
[15] Murray specifically says several bands have influenced his vocals, including Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin[16] and Bono of U2,[16] and Peter Gabriel.
