Dan Swanö has claimed that this is his favorite Edge of Sanity album, and even went as far as to call it "perfect". Though primarily death metal, some tracks on this album foreshadow the shift to more melodic sounds which would take shape on 1993's The Spectral Sorrows. This is also the first Edge of Sanity album (and one of the first death metal albums) to feature clean vocals, which appear briefly in the track "Enigma".
