It features a much-publicized new female lead singer, Danish-born Monika Pedersen (from Sinphonia) on her only album with Sirenia, who joined the band in April 2006 replacing Henriette Bordvik.

It also features a new guitarist, Bjørnar Landa (from Artifact), a live member of the band since 2004 who replaced Kristian Gundersen, but did not participate in the recording sessions.

However, Pedersen's experience with Sirenia finished suddenly in November 2007 when she left the group due to musical disagreements during the European promotional tour scheduled with Therion.

The album features a remarkable (and definitive) change in the band's musical style, starting toward a more melodic and radio-friendly gothic metal sound, leaving out the most operatic sections and the violin passages, including less death growls by Morten Veland.

Specifically, it contains a mix of heavy and powerful songs with catchy chorus in dark lyrics, focused especially on the pure vocals of Pedersen; all of them strategic characteristics that gained the band access to a way broader audience.
