It was recorded at Top Floor Studios in the band’s home town Gothenburg and mixed and mastered by the legendary Tue Madsen. Madsen has previously worked with bands such as DIR EN GREY, ONE OK ROCK, The Haunted, Suicide Silence and Dark Tranquillity.

BatAAr is the world’s first and only Art Metal band. The concept of Art Metal is allows the bans to employ a previously unheard diversity of styles and genre mixtures in their songs while still maintaining an undoubtable signature sound. Everything from electronically infused punk, power ballads and deathcore to djent and straight-up pop rock – nothing is taboo for BatAAr. Art Metal also puts heavy focus on visuals, in order to further express the wide range of emotions and moods maintained in the band’s songs.
