Background

The video for "I Idolize You" was filmed by Bambi Fantastic and directed by Massive and Frost. It features the SuicideGirls model Honey Manko, who later modelled for the cover of the Beautiful Suicide album.[2]

"Devil in Disguise" was written for the band by Australian production team, T1 Music[3] and originally recorded for their second album, but was later released on the single as a B-side. On 9 July 2013 it was released as a digital only single via the Public Disordar Bandcamp.([4]

The Modification Mix, done by Lloyd Price of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, was just the sound that Massive was looking for. Price later joined the band in 2015.
