The album was recorded and produced by Angel Muñoz at Traste Cero Studios during 2020 and put on hold for 2021 because of the traffic accident suffered by guitar player, Luis Pinedo, who is now ready to come back to his shredding duties and tour supporting this fantastic album. 'Of Hoods and Masks' is also the final run of Alex Gabasa (Leather Heart) in Frenzy , who had to leave the band after a great job recording the album, being replaced by Billy Banzai.
