This is the first album since 1999's Tuonela to feature original bassist Olli-Pekka Laine who rejoined the band in 2017, making this the first time since 1994's Tales from the Thousand Lakes that all four original band members played together on an album.[2] The album was produced by Jens Bogren, who was described as "a true brother in spirit."[3]
