Background:



On a trip in Jerusalem, Rodriguez-Lopez purchased an

archaic ouija-type talking board at a curio shop as a gift for Bixler-

Zavala. They would return to their tour bus after shows to play with it

during their 2006 tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as it quickly

became the band's post-show ritual. Dubbed "The Soothsayer", the board

revealed stories, gave names and made demands, as the band was

contacted by three different people who appeared in the form of one,

whom was then referred to as "Goliath". The more the band had

interacted with "The Soothsayer", otherworldly coincidences began

plaguing the band's experience writing and recording The Bedlam in

Goliath: Deantoni Parks--their current drummer at the time--had quit

mid-tour and left the band with financial troubles; Bixler-Zavala wound

up needing surgery performed on his foot due to the shoes he had been

wearing, forcing him to relearn how to walk post-surgery; audio tracks

sporadically and literally disappeared off the screens; Rodriguez-

Lopez's home studio flooded and had been subject to multiple power

outages; and the album's original engineer had gone through a nervous

breakdown, leaving behind all previous work with no notes as to where

anything was. Rodriguez-Lopez was nearly on the brink of starting over

from scratch, but instead kept on with the recruitment of Robert

Carranza as the replacement engineer, along with assistance from Lars

Stalfors and Isaiah Abolin. Midway through the recording sessions,

Rodriguez-Lopez buried "The Soothsayer" as an attempt to undo the curse

and halt the unforeseen tragedies, who ended the ordeal by swearing

never to give away the whereabouts of its burial, and also asking the

band not to speak of it again during the remainder of the album's

production.
