Additional notes
Steve Wolz was supposed to be Epica (Hol)'s drummer (when the band was still called Sahara Dust) and Helena Michaelsen was supposed to be the lead vocalist for Sahara Dust. Steve and Helena decided to move to Norway instead. When they came back to Holland they formed Imperia.

The band recorded a cover of "The Lotus Eaters" by Dead Can Dance for the double tribute album with the same title released through the Greek label Black Lotus Records. This track was used as a bonus on Imperia's 'The Ancient Dance Of Qetesh' album.
