The band continues using lyrics from Ukrainian poets, for example material by Ivan Franko on "Distant Cries of Cranes", Oleh Olzhych on "Decadence", or Bohdan Rubchak on "Ars Poetica".[2]
The last track ("Widow's Grief") is taken from the soundtrack of the Ukrainian movie Atentat (1995), like the intro on the previous album Estrangement ("Solitary Endless Path").[3] The film is about the life and assassination of Stepan Bandera, leader of Ukrainian Insurgent Army, a Ukrainian partisan nationalist group during and after World War II.
The album was praised by critics: it was ranked 11 in Terrorizer Top 40 Albums of 2009[4] and 3 in Top 30 Metal Albums of 2009 by Haunting the Chapel, the Stereogum heavy music section.[5]
