This album marked a change for the band, drifting more to rock and moving over from their classic hardcore thrash style.

Released during the grunge era, Beowülf achieved small success with the album in Los Angeles as the band had gathered some followers.

Dale Henderson, the band's founder and chief songwriter, is the only original member appearing on the album.

Therefore, many purists object to it being called "Beowülf" or simply "BWF" and consider it to be a Dale Henderson solo project.

According to Henderson, Mike Jensen (guitar), Paul Yamada (bass) and Michael Alvarado (drums) all declined the invitation to reunite.
