Huge thanks are in order to:

Flop - for playing bass, mandolin, and guitar, as well as mixing and mastering

Ryan "Rav" Suhajda - for playing the "shred" guitar, and being a friend.

Alkali and Xander - for the idea, co-written lyrics, and lots of musical yelling

Me - for shoving this project towards the finish line after 18 months
