The album has a Parental advisory on the cover art for strong language and dark graphic themes such as drug addiction and its consequences, relationship troubles, and social indifference. Balsamo primarily used an Ibanez RG570 and Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier. Using C tuning (the main tuning used in Cold's catalog), the band then experimented with various sounds and dynamics in the studio. The main song structures for 13 Ways were written prior to entering the studio. After trying a few musicians from Los Angeles, Cold chose fellow Jacksonville native Balsamo, who'd played with its members since the age of 18.
About a year prior to recording 13 Ways, the band enlisted guitarist Terry Balsamo frontman Scooter Ward, who had sung and played guitar, wanted to focus solely on singing.
