Originating as Peace Corpse, a thrash metal band based in the rural-industrial sub-culture of a Maine paper-mill town, Theory of Negativity took the raw power of Peace Corpse, and refined it into dark alternative metal with well-honed edge. The self-titled album made its way across the country on rock radio, as the band played gigs throughout a couple of harsh New England winters. Even with the eventual temporary demise of the live band, the music lived on.

After a 5 year hiatus, drummer Jason Rowland and guitarist Pat Malia, who've played together since grade school, were craving the intensity of the original Peace Corpse and Theory of Negativity projects. They approached The Outlook studio's Ted St.Pierre, who had produced and engineered their first two releases, about recording some new material. Ted stepped in to play bass as well as recording and producing what was now just the bare bones of the original band.

Pat Malia, guitarist,vocalist, and lyricist, describes the music by this incarnation of the band as "nihilistic anti-social-metal-dance-punk."

By the time the cd was complete, original vocalist Adam Mazza had returned to play on a track or two, along with guest keyboardist Rob Gaudet. The sound was highly developed, and more massive and angry than ever. "This is the heaviest thing I've ever recorded," said Ted. "Pat's vocals really put it over the top."
