This album begins Edge of Sanity's progression from pure death metal to a more progressive and melodic death metal sound. There's more focus on clean vocals than the album's predecessor, specifically on their cover of "Blood of My Enemies" by Manowar and "Sacrificed", the latter showing more of a cleanly-sung goth rock style.
The cover art was done by artist Dan Seagrave.
