[edit] Background information

Guitarist Anders Björler commented that he couldn't "remember much" from the recording sessions for Terminal Spirit Disease.^[1] When compared to At the Gates' older material, Björler felt the tracks "were simpler and more to the point".^[1] A violin and cello features on the song "And the World Returned", cited as an example of the group's attempt to explore "ideas which were a little different".^[1]
