This album is considered Septic Flesh's most experimental and progressive release. It is the only Septic Flesh album not to feature guitarist/composer Christos Antoniou, who took a leave of absence from the band during this period. Though someone named "Kostas" is credited as a session drummer, all drums were programmed.
