Working with Wilder on this album was New Orleans native bluesman Joe Richardson, who contributed vocals, guitar, and harmonica. Also working on subHuman was his wife and assistant, Hepzibah Sessa, and Paul Kendall, who worked on the album Liquid of 2000 and mixes from the 1997 Unsound Methods album. Another contributor was English singer Carla Trevaskis, who has worked with Fred de Faye (Eurythmics), Cliff Hewitt (Apollo 440) and Dave McDonald (Portishead).[5]

The track "99 to Life" refers to the maximum jail sentence handed out, short of the death penalty.[6] This is based on a real story according to Richardson in an interview with the industrial music magazine Side-Line.[7]
