Death's Design - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Came in a 4-panel digipak with a folded double-sided poster insert.

Came with a folded 21" x 14" two-sided movie-style poster with the album credits at the bottom.

The lyrics to this album are actually a complete mystery since they were never officially published.

'Keeping Faith' is "a cover" of 'Riddle of Steel' from Conan The Barbarian soundtrack composed by Basil Poledouris.

"Death's Design" is supposed to be a soundtrack for a horror movie, though that's just a gimmick story created by Blakkheim.

This album also features some fictional members like the albums before it. "Ingmar Döhn" and "Sean C. Bates" are aliases of Dan Swanö, while cellist Konstantin Uweholst, violist Elmo Meltz, and violinists Artieer Garsnek, Jaak Gunst, Heiki Schmolski along with grand pianist Jaari Fleger are all fictional musicians made-up by Blakkheim to create the illusion of there being a string quartet and a pianist. In reality, all the cello, viola, violin, and grand piano parts are orchestral samples taken from the sampler library.

The tracks were grouped together in clusters of 1-6 tracks known as "movements" in the following way:
1st Movement - Tracks 1-4
2nd Movement - Tracks 5-8
3rd Movement - Tracks 9-12
4th Movement - Tracks 13-17
