In 2008, SSL began working on new songs at Jay Baumgardner’s NRG Recording Studios in Hollywood for their second release. Sharing the studio with Linkin Park during sessions for Minutes to Midnight, the band found the perfect environment to further develop their sound. The first two tracks, “Not The One” and “Denial”, were recorded and produced by Sergio Chavez (Motörhead, Evanescence). After the NRG sessions, SSL traveled to The Brewery studios in Seattle, Washington to finish the remaining material for their next release.
