"The Beauty and the Beast" is one song, divided into seven parts.
First of all, it is a tribute song to Type O Negative, who changed Juodas' view on music, inspired him to create not only fast, catchy, brutal, but also emotional music. Lyrics for the song were written in 1994-95 by Juodas and Ugnius Lioge ("Dangus Proctions"), and where a bit inspired by My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema.
It was first recorded in 1996, but the tape was lost, therefore it had to be rerecorded. The lyrics were changed a few times after that, and are very different from the first version.
The record was rerecorded during "The River of Lost" sessions (in 2001), but was rounded out, corrected and mastered later at home.
