The album was re-issued and re-mastered by Metal Mind Productions as a limited-edition digipak, on April 24, 2006, with bonus videos.

The album was recorded at Musiclab Studios in Berlin, Germany and was produced by Harris Johns.

Guitarists Ross Dolan and Robert Vigna had the ability to tune guitars by ear, and Wilkinson would emulate their intonation.

"[2] Greg Prato of AllMusic assessed, "Although it will never go down in metal history as a landmark album à la Master of Puppets or Reign in Blood, Dawn of Possession does show a band mastering a style that would eventually become quite commonplace in metal.

[...] Looking back on it years later, Dawn of Possession was certainly a notable release in what would eventually be known as the "extreme metal" style.
