Background
Daniel Bergstrand produced drums and mixed the album.[1] Guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka stated about the songwriting process: "[This] album is one that we created together as a band. Our drummer, Michał [Łysejko], [helped] a lot with the arrangements and the songs. He's like the co-author of the songs. It's like I used to do with Vitek [Witold Kiełtyka]."[1]
Reception
The song "One-Eyed Nation" was premiered by Alternative Press, which the magazine reviewed as "classic Decapitated: killer riffs, interesting leads and an undeniable sense of groove"; and described the band as "remaining one of death metal's elite" bands.[1]
