Det som engang var is Norwegian for "What Once Was."

English translation of Norwegian titles:
1. The Coast of Evil
3. One Ring to Rule
5. He Who Wandered
6. When the Sky Clears
7. Turn the Sign of the Microcosm
8. Black Thrones

The cover art, just like the one of Burzum, was inspired by the Dungeons and Dragons adventure module The Temple of Elemental Evil.

Working title of the record was På svarte troner, but this was changed before the album was officially released.

Several bootlegs are circulating with the following matrix code:
-DURECO (01) EYE001 (close to the genuine matrix but () instead [] and EYE001 instead EYE 001)
-dureco [01] eye 001 (lowercase text)
-TSD EYE01

Recording information:

Recorded at Grieghallen Studios, Bergen, Norway, April 1992 (before the Aske EP, although Aske was released first).
