(Diablo Blvd, A Brand), Vincent Noben (Hell City) guitars and Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates, exCradle Of Filth, The Haunted,…) drums. Mixing and mastering of the album was done by Dan Swano

(Opeth, Bloodbath…). Soon after the recording, Jan Rammeloo (Bliksem, Furia, Your Highness) and Tony Van den Eynde (Leng Tch’e, Saille) joined forces and Dress Code: Blood was released in January 2021 on Wormholedeath Records.
