This album is a sequel to the previous one, exploring an ancient, forgotten world that collides with today's human-centered earth.\n\nPaying homage to the art of the guitar riff, the sound is reminiscent of the golden age of metal, including Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Metallica. According to Charlie, \"I wanted to be more song oriented this time, rather than overall concept oriented. I had a rough idea of the shape of the album in my head and was conscious of the balance and flow of the album as a whole. It starts off with a fast thrasher, then a long progressive song, then a slower sludgy song, followed by a softer song. First, I made sure that all the music was complete, that each section had a solid reason for being there, and that the guitar riffs propelled the song forward,\" he says. The lyrics are a mix of social commentary, personal conflict, and dark mysticism.\n\n\n\nThe drummer is Darby Todd (Devin Townsend), as on the previous album, and Haken bandmate Connor Green on bass for this album. Guest vocalists include Tommy Rogers (Between the Buried And Me), Daniel de Jong (Textures), Roddy Walker (Protest The Hero), and Vladimir Laric (Organised Chaos). Mixed by Adam Norrie Getgood (Periphery) and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios.
