Album information

edit

In a 2013 interview, Rolf Kasparek described the album as audibly tougher and more compact than the previous album Shadowmaker. He then went on to talk about the song "Bloody Island" in which he explained that the demo version of the song would have been a great fit on the band's Pile of Skulls album.

A limited edition boxed set, released exclusively on the German Amazon website, features a poster flag, a patch, two posters, two stickers and a photo card.
