The song "Angel Blake" is named after the witch in the film The Blood on Satan's Claw.

In a 2002 interview with Juliya Chernetsky on Fuse TV's Uranium show, Glenn Danzig said that the pronunciation of the album title is /ˌiː luːsɪˈfɛraɪ/ EE-loo-si-FERR-eye.

Early press releases for the album reveal that its working title was Danzig 7: Kiss the Skull.

The CD booklet contains a quotation from Celsus, a second-century AD opponent of Christianity: "They worship neither a god nor even a demon, but a dead man!"

The correct lyric is "Asar-un-Nefer" ("Myself Made Perfect"), an epithet of the Egyptian god Osiris used especially in the Thelemic "Bornless Ritual".
