Recorded and mixed at Unisound in July 1996.
Remastered at Castillo Sound in September 2006.
Note: This album originally went to the pressing plant completely unmastered, hence the low output of audio and lack of various EQ/FX enhancements. It was finally mastered for the first time in 2006 when Peaceville Records re-released the album as a digipak with the "Sounds of Decay" EP as bonus tracks.
Also, the initial cd pressings had a purple logo, but it was hardly visible, so Avantgarde Music changed the logo to black/white on the later pressings.
"12" is a re-recorded version of the Song "Black Erotica" from the "W.A.R. Compilation Volume 1".
The sample in "Endtime" is:
"Because, for some people solitude and isolation can, of itself, become a problem. Not for me", from the film "The Shining".
Century Media's American version also contains the "For Funerals to Come" EP.
Irond Records (Russia) released the album with both the "Sounds of Decay" and "For Funerals to Come" EPs.
LP version was released on 27/09/2004 by Northern Silence Productions. Each LP comes in gatefold-sleeve with revised artwork and handnumbered.
LP in black vinyl, ltd. 444 (first 144 copies incl. poster)
PicLP, ltd. 444 (first 144 copies incl. poster)
LP in purple vinyl, ltd. 333 (incl. poster)
Re-released on vinyl together with "For Funerals to Come" by Century in 2009: 150 purple and 350 gray.

어떤 리뷰에서 Katatonia 초기 작품이 Opeth와 유사하다고 해서 나는 이 앨범을 처음 접했다. 들어본 감상은 매우 지루하다였다. 무거우면서도 분위기있는 연주도 처음에만 좋았고 계속해서 반복되면서 집중력을 흩뜨렸다. 어디를 어떻게 들어야 Opeth와 비슷하다는 건지 솔직히 의문이다. 우울한 감수성 하나만큼은 잘 잡았을지 몰라도 이러한 분위기가 단조롭게 이어지면서 극도로 지루하게만 들렸다. Doom Metal을 어지간히 좋아하는 사람이 아니라면 이 앨범은 결코 권하고 싶지 않다.

Paradise Lost의 Gothic만큼은 아니지만 중독성있는 데스둠. 특히 몽환적이고 기억에 남기가 쉬운 리드 기타 멜로디가 맘에 듭니다. 창백하고 차가운 분위기가 특히 와닿네요.

What an amazing album. It's dark and gloomy and so mesmerizing. It took some time to get used to, but after a few listens it occured to me that this album was full-blown awesomeness.

둠.고딕메탈의 걸작이라고 생각한다.보컬도 그 유명한 opeth의 미카엘이 게스트로 참여해줬다.이 후에 등장하는 밴드들에게 많은 영향을 끼친 앨범이다.
