After winning the award for Atlanta's favorite "metal/extreme band" in 1998, DoubleDrive signed a record deal with MCA Records, and subsequently released their first album, 1000 Yard Stare in August 1999. In 2001, doubleDrive entered the studio with producer John Kurzweg to record their second album. However, around that time, they parted ways with MCA Records with a completed album unreleased.
