Information

The whole album was recorded in one week throughout one take.[3]

Lead singer and guitarist Thomas Erak has the original album's cover art tattooed on his left arm.

"The Last March of The Ents" is about the Destruction of Isengard from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. "The Adventures of Allan Gordon" is about the book The Iceberg Hermit.

"F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P." has the speculated meanings: The widespread opinion [4][5][6][7] is that "F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P." stands for "Fuck Condoms, Premarital Sex Is The Shit! Get 'Em/'Er Pregnant, Get 'Em/'Er Pregnant, Get 'Em/'Er Pregnant!" According to the guitarist's personal LiveJournal account, the song name matches exactly with a personal saying as described above. According to the band's FAQ, "No comment, and even if you figure it out, it doesn't mean anything." (Presumably, the title is a joke that does not mean anything related to the lyrics or the song's meaning itself.).[8]
