The cover was created by the vocalist, Joey Southside, a professional dark comic cartoonist.
. It is only near the end, on "Coffin Nails", that they tip a nod to their traditional hardcore punk
roots. Joey Southside again changes vocal style; from traditional hardcore on the EP, to metalcore
on Your Murder Mixtape
, to this time a darker tone – more in keeping with the style of music they chose to play at this time.
