On this split 7” EP, both Extreme Decay and Tools Of The Trade contribute four songs by each band. Extreme Decay puts out three new songs titled “Konfrontasi Asimetris”, “Death Blossoms”, and “Life At End Times”, with one additional song titled “Brother” a cover of classic song by Antiphaty (Malang’s punk rock). While Tools Of The Trade puts out four new songs titled “Bebas”, “Bangsa”, “Tidak”, and “Tamat”.
The cover artwork was made by Evan (Dystopian Destroy), while the layout was finalized by Tiong from Tools Of The Trade.
