In the year of 2002 bass guitarist / Stick player Rob van der Loo (known for his work with progressive metal band Sun Caged) released his first instrumental solo EP called Six Arms. After a lot of good reviews and loads of enthusiastic reactions from fans it was obvious that a full-time album had to come.

First of all Van der Loo wanted to make a sequel to the Six Arms EP but after some brainstorming he came up with a new concept. A project with the bass guitar as the main instrument (just like before) - but this time with vocals, several guest musicians and much extremer music. A new experimental metal project called Freak Neil Inc. was born.

After a few weeks of composing and looking for guest musicians Van der Loo decided to record a full length album along with the following line up:
