In 2008 the Elysion separated their paths with Maxi Nil under good faith, and Christianna was the next frontwoman. Then they entered the studio for the recordings of debut album, which soon attracted the attention of numerous record labels, leading in signing up with Massacre Records. In the next months Elsyion completed mixing and mastering of the album with American producer engineer Ted Jensen on his owned Sterling Sound Studios.
The cover of the album is created by Natalie Shau; the artwork and photos of the booklet is a creation of Seth Siro Anton. Elysion promoted the album by touring Europe (including Greece) and North America.
