Skupina alebo lepšie napísané sólový projekt Bjørkø, je debutové album gitaristu a skladateľa Tomi Koivusaari -ho (inak prevažne známy z domovskej kapely Amorphis), ktorý si na dokončenie albumu prizval mnoho hostí, prevážne spevákov ako: Marko Hietala (Tarot, ex-Nightwist, atď.), Jeff Walker (Carcass, ex-Blackstar, atď.), Tomi Joutsen (samozrejme Amorphis, Hallatar, ex-Nevergreen, atď.), Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir, Chrome Division, atď.), Mariska, Aðalbjörn Tryggvason (Sólstafir, ex-Mind as Mine, atď.), Petronella Nettermalm (Paatos), Ismo Alanko, Jessi Frey (Velcra), atď.
Vďaka tejto rôznorodosti môžete na Metal -ovom albume počuť rôzne štýly ako Prog., Heavy, Death, Doom, Black a trošku aj Rock -ové prvky. Na albume sa vystriedajú rôzne farby hlasov, a to od melodického mužského, cez growling, rev, melodický ženský spev, ale aj ženské priamočiarejšie frázovanie. Celkom podarené a pestré album.
Zostavu dopĺňajú Lauri Porra - basa (inak Stratovarius, Kotipelto, ex-Warmen, atď.), Waltteri Väyrynen - bicie (inak Opeth, ex-Paradise Lost, ex-Vallenfyre, atď.) a Janne Lounatvuori (ex-Hidria Spacefolk).
