Production

Recording for the album took place at Thin Ice Studios in Surrey and LamerLuser Studios in London between February and September 2005. During the recording of "Through the Fire and Flames", guitarist Herman Li snapped one of his guitar strings.[8] Despite this, the band decided to keep this recording and left it on the final album version.[8] It was then mixed at Thin Ice Studios by Karl Groom, Sam Totman, Li and Vadim Pruzhanov and engineered by Karl Groom and Li. The mastering was performed by Eberhard Köhler at Powerplay Mastering in Berlin, Germany. A music transcription book was released for the album on 15 September 2008 by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation (ISBN 9781423433484).
