On the CD inserts, tracks 8 and 11 are inverted due to a printing error. The track list below reflects the actual song order.

All soundbites in this section are sampled from the 1998 science-fiction film "Dark City."


Mixed by Wojtek Lisicki & Baskim Zuta at Meta 4 Music and Metalking Domain
in Nov through Dec 2001 and March through May 2003

Mastered by Tobias Lindell at Tremolo Music in Maj 2003

The lyrics and the arrangement of all instruments procreated and revealed to
this world by Wojtek Lisicki - Transcendental Protagonist - in the following periods of time: ”New World To See” - some of the original parts written in 1995 (of which some arranged with the assistance of Joakim Rosenström), ”Destroying By Will” - written in 96, ”The Apostate” and ”Become Or Be Gone” - original parts written between 1996-2000. All songs perfected and spiritualized between 2001-2003 in a transcendentally liberated state of a conscious mind

The literary work as well as titles and vocal performance accomplished in March through May 2003

All the filmic audio samples used as preludes on this album are taken from the great movie, still definitely not given the attention it deserves, Dark City. Some of them have been slightly re-arranged in order to represent the band’s message even more accurately. Even a lot of own sounds has been used. The movie credits: directed by Alex Proyas, written by Alex Proyas, Lem Dobbs, David S. Goyer, released in 1998, music by Revor Jones, production company – Mystery Clock & New Line Cinema. Publisher – New Line Cinema

As usually, everything about this album suffered, still mighty accomplished, in the void of life’s fading-away, Gothenburg, Sweden
