* BigNameFan: Fred Armisen became a fan and caught one of their shows after a chance meeting with him in an airport while both parties were en route to Santiago in late 2018.

* DevelopmentHell: ''Phylogenesis''. It took the band over two years to track the album due to a staggered schedule, and they didn't even start tracking it until the end of 2017, over three years after the release of ''Obsolescence''; furthermore, while the drums and rhythm guitars were done by the end of that year, the leads weren't tracked until 2019, and Charles still didn't have any lyrics written well into the spring of 2019. It was originally slated for a 2018 release, which got pushed back to 2019. Back in the spring of 2019, he acknowledged in a podcast that June 2019 was the absolute earliest that it could realistically find its way onto the label's desk, and ''that'' came and went. The album wasn't fully tracked until October, almost ''two years'' after they started, and Charles didn't start mastering the album until either the end of October or the beginning of November. In Janurary of 2020, the album was finally announced for an April 2020 release, almost six years after the release of ''Obsolescence''. Charles said in no uncertain terms that it had to be that way - it was an absurdly long development process for sure, but between life getting in the way and the band generally being extremely picky during the songwriting process, it would not have come out as well as it did had they tried to expedite it at all.

The album wasn't fully tracked until October, almost ''two years'' after they started, and Charles didn't start mastering the album until either the end of October or the beginning of November. The earliest that the album will realistically come out is late spring 2020, and that is assuming that Season of Mist doesn't already have a stacked release schedule that will push it to the summer or even fall.

It was originally slated for a 2018 release, which got pushed back to 2019, and as per Charles, it realistically won't be on the label's desk before June of 2019; while he is desperately trying to squeeze in a fall 2019 release, he acknowledged that there is a very real possibility that it may not be out until early 2020 if Season of Mist's fall schedule is stacked.

It was originally slated for a 2018 release, but it will now be out no earlier than 2019, and depending on Season of Mist's release schedule, it may not be out until later in the year; [[WordOfGod as per Charles]], fall is the most reasonable time to expect it to drop.

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: A minor case with Scott Fuller when he was in the band, as he also plays in Annihilated, Incinerated Divinity, and Monte Pittman's backing band, in addition to being the mainman of Plaguereaper (where he plays all the instruments) and working as a producer and engineer.
