Mickey E. Vil, the band's longtime leader, commented on the song: "When I spoke with Andy LaRocque years ago about his possible participation in a THE MUGSHOTS song, I composed a song that was meant to sound as Metal as possible. Once I received the solo, I felt something was still missing: a bass worthy of the best old-school Metal and an evocative narrative. Why not, after 30 years, create a temporary reunion between two historic members of the glorious Greek Black Metal scene? Sakis Tolis and Jim Mutilator, founding members of the original ROTTING CHRIST lineup, have completed the work in the best possible way. All this was completed by the monumental work of Cristiano Mondini (TRK Studio), who created on paper the dystopic world of "The Nameless", somewhere between W. Burroughs, P. Dick and H. Thompson".

The journey through darkness, irony and vision has just begun; prepare yourself for an extraordinary experience.
