The music is one of the earliest examples of crust punk, and combines it with post-punk.[4][5] The album artwork is a photograph "Grief" by Dmitry Baltermants that depicts a 1942 Nazi massacre of Jews in the Crimean city of Kerch.
The album was re-released as part of the compilation No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings in 2008 on Alternative Tentacles.
