On "Only The Strong," Trail Of Lies collaborated with producer Andy Nelson of Bricktop Recording in Chicago, IL, living and recording in the studio for a week before sending the completed album to Brad Boatright at Audiosiege for mastering. During the process, the band, who shares members with Regulate, Candy, and Naysayer, had a number of friends feature on the record including Pat Flynn, Scott Vogel, Danny Diablo, Sebastian Paba, and Aldo Felix. The 11 songs are crushing and visceral, diving into a NYHC-meets-metallic sound that's executed aggressive and tight.
