Recording took place at Ghost Ward, StudioGröndal and Deep Well in Stockholm, Sweden with guitarist Marcus Jidell producing. Vocalist Joel Ekelöf said of the process:
“Wherever we could the music was analog, all the sounds you hear were pure and not samples or keyboard generated. When we needed a Mellotron, we got a real one. With my vocals as well, we intentionally left out the endless possibilities of post editing and instead focused on pure vocal work.”
The album will run as follows:
01 – “Sectarian”
02 – “Orison”
03 – “Lucidity”
04 – “Opal”
05 – “Jinn”
