In March 2007, Project 86 announced that Alex Albert had parted with the band on friendly terms to pursue other interests. Instead of searching for a full-time replacement, the band recruited Jason Gerken, formerly of Shiner , to play drums on the record. Production of their sixth album, entitled Rival Factions , followed suit with Deftones engineer Ulrich Wild . The album proved to be a large departure from their edgier material by sporting a distinct 1980s sound influenced by goth rock .
