Background

Danza II is a concept album focusing on a protagonist named Cecil Bennett, a man with dwarfism and a short temper that visits a bar one night and eventually murders everyone in the establishment when he grows tired of everyone's taunting comments. [4]

The album was produced by Jeremiah Scott of Demon Hunter and Destroy Destroy Destroy. Following the album's release, every member but vocalist Jessie Freeland left the band. Freeland would later resume TTDTE by recruiting guitarist Josh Travis and drummer Mike Bradley. The trio would then go on to create Danza III: The Series of Unfortunate Events (2010). [5]
