This is the first and only album not to feature founding members Dan Lilker and Anthony Bramante, as they departed in 1992 before the recording process began. Their replacements, Scott Metaxas and Dave DiPietro, were both part of the final Prophet line-up that recorded the Recycled album; DiPietro had also previously played in T.T. Quick with drummer Glenn Evans. Something Wicked would also be Nuclear Assault's final studio album for 12 years, until the release of Third World Genocide in 2005.

The record is considered a slight departure from the band's early hardcore punk/thrash metal roots, by incorporating a slower groove metal sound.[1] The title track was released as a music video. The song is featured in the end credits of the 1993 film Warlock: The Armageddon and in the 2017 film It.
