Drummer Agaharet would leave the band before the album's completion, leaving vocalist Lord Vampyr to finish it alone.
The album's title is French for "Vampirism, necrophilia, necrosadism, scavenging" – however, correct spelling in French would be Nécro- instead of Nècro- and Vampirisme instead of Vampyrìsme.
Track 1 opens with a passage of Bram Stoker's famous 1897 novel Dracula, while track 8 samples Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Requiem.
