The debut was mastered by acclaimed producer Jens Bogren (Fascination Street Studios) and mixed by Øyvind Larsen (Lionheart Studios). According to the band’s biography the album’s “…11 songs will take the listener through melancholic acoustic moments and up through more brutal yet melodic epics. The story follows an expedition deep into Siberia, questioning how far a person might go under extreme circumstances in order to achieve a sense of resolution.”
