The song "Sedative God" was originally intended for the previous Paradise Lost album, but was not recorded in time.[3] Drummer Jeff Singer, who played on the aforementioned album, was not an official member of the band back then until the first single of this album The Enemy, although he left Paradise Lost one year after this album's release.
The album features harsh vocals by Nick Holmes, similar to the style he had on Icon.
The title for song "Praise Lamented Shade" comes after An Essay on Criticism by Alexander Pope.[3]
