[edit] Trivia

Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (March 2009)

• Heikki Saari joined the band after the album was recorded.
• Toni Hallio recorded the drum parts before leaving the band.
• The name Omen has nothing to do with the song's lyrics. It is called this because the band thought the intro sounded like the song "Nemo" by Nightwish—Nemo backwards is Omen.
• The song "Wasted Years" is dedicated to Kristian Ranta's brother Pete who died around the time of writing/recording.
• The lyrics for the song "Norther" are composed of almost every past song title from each Norther album.
• Recorded and mixed at Studio Fredman in Goteborg, Sweden from July to September 2005.
• Mastered at Chartmaker Studios in Helsinki, Finland in November 2005 by Svante Forsback.
