Bassist/vocalist Gary St. Pierre, who featured on the One Nation Underground debut LP, was replaced by bassist Joey Galisa and vocalist Eddie Day. Galisa had previously played with Honolulu's Rat Attack while Day was a former member of Marty Friedman's old Maryland-based band Deuce.

"Escape the Night" had previously been recorded by Marty Friedman's pre-Hawaii outfit Vixen for their 1983 Made in Hawaii EP and was re-cut by Hawaii for One Nation Underground.

Loud, Wild & Heavy was officially re-issued on CD in 2018 by Greek label No Remorse Records as part of a series of early Marty Friedman works.[3]
