It is the last album to be based on a fantasy saga until their new album The Eighth Mountain, and the final album in the Algalord Chronicles, a long conceptual storyline originating from the band's 1997 debut, Legendary Tales. Due to Hess leaving the band in 2013 and not being replaced, it is the only album by the band with two guitarists recognized as full-time members.
The song "From Chaos To Eternity" was listed in the top 100 album charts in many countries around the world, such as Japan, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France and many others.[5][6]
