All lyrics and music written by Hansi Kürsch and Jon Schaffer, except "Immigrant Song" (Written by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant. Originally performed by Led Zeppelin on the album "Led Zeppelin III", 1970).
Comes in jewel case with 16 page booklet.
Disc pressed by Sonopress Arvato, Gütersloh, Germany. Distributed by SPV GmbH.
It is believed by some that this is a concept album based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. However, only a few of the songs relate to the series and there is no overall concept to the album.
Jon Schaffer said in a 2009 interview that he felt "Touched by the Crimson King" was a "bit rushed".
