The album possesses a unique quality and is a highly original, dark melodic death / black metal album. The album contains seven songs, six of which are majestic epic opuses spanning up to 11 minutes of total mayhem and intensity. The lyrics were all written in English and this was the first album that contained no lyrics in Swedish.

 

Furthermore, the lyrics were written by different people, one of which was childhood friend of Fredrik Sööderberg and ex-AFFLICTED member Philip von Segebaden also known from CRANIUM and his own solo project DEFENDER.

 

All in all, the album can be described as being more extreme than its predecessors, the fast parts were even faster and longer than before and the more atmospheric parts were more sophisticated than ever before.

 

DAWN had created a masterpiece and once and for all proved their position as pioneers at the cutting edge of death/black metal. 1998 also marked monumental changes in the line-up and saw the departure of both long time guitarist Andreas Fullmestad and bassist Lars Tängmark.

 

Since DAWN now was located in Stockholm it simply did not work out rehearsal-wise with the geographic split. Still, Fredrik Söderberg decided to create a new line-up in Stockholm and take his music to further heights.
