The working title for this album was "Hammer of Doom", which is the name of the album's second track, but the idea was abandoned due to there being a German festival of the same name. The band recorded it during the autumn of 2008, and was seeking a release on 27 March 2009. However, the album's release was delayed until 3 April 2009; the United States release date for this album was May 5, 2009.
The bonus track on the digipak edition, "Lucifer Rising", was taken from the EP Lucifer Rising, released six months before the album.
Limited edition LP includes a 7" with two bonus tracks: "Lucifer Rising" and "White God".
Box set, limited to 500 copies, includes the digipak version of the album, a Candlemass skull flag and a certificate for the number of the copy.
Bonus track on the US Edition:
9. Lucifer Rising (Album Outtake) (03:44)
This song is a different recording than the version on the "Lucifer Rising" EP
The album was originally intended to be titled "Hammer of Doom", but it was changed after Leif Edling had certain discussions with the organizers of the festival that bears that same name.
Recorded and mixed at Polar Studios, Stockholm.
Mastered at Cosmos Mastering.
