[edit] Trivia

  • The album is also available as a Special Edition, with a DVD containing a short documentary featuring the making of the album.
  • The last track, "Ambition" was recorded in an empty monastery. The huge reverb effect was achieved using the acoustics of the main hall. The recording process is shown on the DVD included with the special edition of the album.
