Recorded at Studio Fredman, Gothenburg, Sweden, in December 2000.
Mixed at Backstage Studios, Ripley, England, in January 2001.

- CD1 has a special multimedia track for "Ravenous"
- CD2 is called "Rare & Unreleased" and has a special multimedia track for "The Immortal"; songs (covers or rare and unreleased bonus tracks) are all performed during the time former vocalist Johan Liiva was in the band, so Liiva is the vocalist on all songs. CD2 is only included with the EU/US version of the album.

"Diva Satanica", "Damnation's Way" and "Hydra" were previously available as japanese bonus tracks on the 'Stigmata' album.
"Fields Of Desolation `99" were previously available as japanese bonus tracks on the "Burning Bridges" album

There were huge problems with the release of the album in the American and European markets. The release date is for the Japanese version by Toy Factory and that version only had one CD with the first eleven tracks and no video. The 2 CD version for Europe and the Americas wasn't released until 18.3.2002.

First release with Angela Gossow on vocal duties.

Also released on LP (without the bonus tracks) limited to 1,000 copies.
