Following A Deeper Kind of Slumber, the band took a less ambiguous direction to their style, utilizing a gothic rock sound but with various atmospheric soundscapes/effects and female background vocals added in.

"Church of Tiamat" is also the name of the band's official website.

The end of the song "As Long as You Are Mine" includes a quote of the opening of French poet Jean de La Fontaine's fable Le Loup et l’Agneau (The Wolf and the Lamb). The end of the song "Lucy" contains a popular sample from the 1957 science-fiction film The Brain from Planet Arous.
