With this album, Hecate Enthroned greatly tones down their previous symphonic black metal sonority and aesthetics, dropped the corpse paint used on the previous few albums and adopting a style more reminiscent of melodic blackened death metal, albeit still retaining the keyboards and dark black metal melodies of the older albums.
The track "I Am Born" is the first part of the "I Am Born" trilogy; the second part can be heard on 2001's Miasma, and the third one on 2004's Redimus.
All tracks are written by Hecate Enthroned.
