"Burn This City", which marked the recording debut of the band's latest addition, British singer Nathan James Biggs (formerly of The Hollow Earth Theory), was one of two tracks that were laid down at Abyss studios in Pärlby, outside Ludvika, Sweden. Both cuts appeared on a new EP, "The Rebellion Pack", which was released on November 9, 2009 as part of an all-in-one-package with the group's latest album, "Love And Other Disasters".
