It was released in 1995 through No Colours. It was remastered and re-released in 1997 through their new label Nuclear Blast with the front cover art in full color and the entire ''Inn i evighetens mørke'' EP added. It is the band's only studio album on which Shagrath is on drums, Tjodalv on guitar and Silenoz on vocals.
The artwork displayed on the front cover of the album is inspired by Gustave Doré's illustration of Camelot from ''Idylls of the King''.

But somehow the songs manage to overcome the production, offering a somewhat beautiful (albeit warped) view of heavy metal that comes off far more ambitious than a band in their position usually does."<ref name="AllMusic"/> Canadian jouralist Martin Popoff remarked how in the album "the basics for symphonic, varied, dynamics-charged sound was in evidence, despite a woefully thin production job."<ref name="martin" />
