居住在波士顿的地下金属乐队Powerman5000在美国东海岸拥有着一帮信徒一般的歌迷,他们在1995年发行了第一张独立专辑,该唱片由Conscience Records发行,两年后,Powerman5000转投Dreamworks并发行了他们处女专辑的修订译本,接着在1997年发行了。2年后,Powerman5000带着他们的新专辑回归。然而之后他们都已经获取了发行授权的专辑却拖拖拉拉的迟迟未能发行且险些流产;另一方面,乐队的鼓手和贝司手均有了离开的意向,2001年初,贝司手Dorian Heartsong和鼓手Alan Pahanish相继离队,这时的Powerman5000可谓危机重重。还好在一年后,乐队就补进了鼓手Adrian Ost,2002年底,新的贝司手Siggy Siursen也加入了进来。自此Powerman5000又重整旗鼓,以全新的阵容、全新的音乐理念投入了新专辑的制作中。2003年春季,Powerman5000为我们带来了荣获2003年10佳金属专辑的金属大碟。
