Saku Tammelin comments:

“This time the album took a little longer than planned, but it’s finally finished. It turned out to be a fairly familiar sounding Shadecrown, but there are also some more unusual elements on the album. This time I wrote all the songs and lyrics. The album turned out to be heavy, melodic and maybe a little faster paced, without forgetting the slower parts.”

Tomi Tikka continues:

“During the album making phase, I focused more on playing lead guitars and writing solos than actually listening to the compositions. Now that the album is completely finished and listening to the whole thing, it opens up to me too. The album holds me in its grip, sometimes tearing my heart open, making me think, and at other times pushing me forward with force. Reminding me that there is still guts. Perkele.”
