Guitar – Robbie Davidson (The Exploited)
Vocals- Jennifer Blair
Vocals – Jay Roth
Regarding the album’s title, Graziadei offered:
“We are born into this world as pure souls and then are poisoned by the nefarious darkness that surrounds us. Those who stay the path and navigate the blackness with success become real leaders, the rest rot away as liars and thieves. I dedicated this record to a friend from the record label Bauke de Groot (RIP) who helped me a lot when I first joined the AFM family.”
