Musical influences and lyrics

"I'm not trying to put people's beliefs down - it's about me and my life. This is my head cracked open and poured on the paper! I still have the same beliefs and same views, but I'm more open to everything. [...] At this point in my life, I don't see the good in making people hate you for something you say. This record is for everybody. "
Lucker has appeared as a guest musician with The Acacia Strain , Caliban and Winds of Plague .

On the night of November 1, 2012, Lucker succumbed to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. He died at the UCI Medical Center in Orange County , California . The accident occurred around 9 p.m. on October 31, 2012.
