There was speculation that Pinkly Smooth was going to produce another record, but due to the death of the Rev, it is highly unlikely that they will produce any more material. Former Avenged Sevenfold bassist Justin Sane played keyboards and piano on the album. The band released one album, Unfortunate Snort on Bucktan Records, which features a crossover sound of mostly punk, ska and progressive metal. Formed in the summer of 2001 in Huntington Beach, California, the band featured ex-Ballistico members Buck Silverspur on bass and D-Rock on drums. Gates and The Rev played in an experimental metal band named Pinkly Smooth. However, the song is now primarily about his former bandmate, best friend and previous drummer of Avenged Sevenfold, The Rev, who died on December 28, 2009. In the special edition of Revolver magazine that was released the same day as the Nightmare album, Gates stated that he originally started out writing the song " So Far Away" in honor of his grandfather.
