Recording

The band initially wrote and recorded the material for Means to an End in early 2004. During the mixing process, a studio disaster resulted in the loss of the recordings, and the album had to be completely re-recorded before its release in August 2005. Graziadei later recalled, "we wrote and recorded what became Means to an End in early 2004… while we were mixing the album disaster struck and we lost EVERYTHING. We had to go back in and eventually turn a horrible situation into a miracle." [3]
