Like its predecessor The Angel and the Dark River this album has completely clean vocals. ^{[citation needed]}

A video was filmed for "For You" and appears on the VHS and DVD of For Darkest Eyes. ^{[citation needed]}

Singer Aaron Stainthorpe has stated many times that this is his favorite MDB album. The track "A Kiss To Remember" has become a regular in the band's live setlist. ^{[citation needed]}

The song "For My Fallen Angel" is strictly an orchestral composition with sections of violin and synth, and has an extract from a poem called Venus and Adonis by the English poet and playwright William Shakespeare.

The Japanese and limited digipak editions of the album feature the bonus remix "It Will Come (Nightmare Mix)". This track was included on the 2003 reissue of the album alongside an additional remix of the song "Grace Unhearing", credited as "Portishell Mix". The song was thus named as Stainthorpe was at the time a big fan of the British band Portishead. The band would later perform a cover of the Portishead song "Roads" for the Peaceville Records anniversary compilation "Peaceville X". The cover artwork was designed by Andy Green.

In October 2011 it was awarded a gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 75,000 copies throughout Europe.[2]

[es] Like Gods of the Sun

Like The Gods of the Sun es el cuarto álbum del grupo de doom metal My Dying Bride. Al igual que el disco anterior, este se encuentra cantado solamente con voz limpia. Los ritmos y tempos son más rápidos que en el disco pasado, alejándose parcialmente del doom metal, y abrazando aún más elementos del rock gótico, en particular sus riffs. Al mismo tiempo, el disco suena más pesado y directo que The Angel and the Dark River.
