According to their Bandcamp page: "The second "hard" 2008-album for EF is a more darker and moody story even if you can still hear those typical hopeful melodies and harmonies that is very typical for the band. During this period EF lost member Daniel Öhman and included two new members for the song writing session. Jonathan Hammar - cello/guitar and Claes Strängberg - guitar/vocals. Claes can also be found in Sweden's finest ambient pop band Immanu El. [2]. The track "Bear" includes a sample from the Columbine High School massacre .
The album was reissued in 2012, after being completely remixed and remastered by Magnus Lindberg from Cult of Luna. The reissue also include a remix of "Bear" by Udo Rabenstein called "Grizzly".
