Info from 'The Answer'

Song writing	Brett Gurewitz: "I don't feel like we stretched ourselves at all; [New Maps Of Hell] was a little bit regressive and conservative.". He also said in 2007: "I think we're reaching back to our roots as a garage band and doing some really aggressive music. But we're also t... Read more
Recording	It was the first time they ever tracked and laid overdubs at a place called Grandmaster Recorders in Hollywood, CA.
