Like Morgan, Lancaster takes care over certain keyboard and vocoder parts, aswell as percussion and guitar. He also sings additional backing vocals, like the line "We can save you", audible on Compliance's live version, aswel as backing vocals on Assassin's Grand Omega Bosses edit, which were formerly sung by Wolstenholme.
