It was re-released on 31 July 2007, with a bonus disc consisting of the album original recording (digitally re-mixed in April 2007).

The Secrets of the Black Arts is the only album to feature guitarist Blackmoon, vocalist/bassist Themgoroth and drummer Equimanthorn.

The original recording (15–21 January 1995) was produced by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios.

According to Blackmoon, he insisted that they re-record the album due to "severely unprofessional production and manner from Mr. Swanö".

They decided on The Abyss Studio and recorded the album that was eventually released to the public.
