Being an entirely instrumental album, the track titles of distinct long-form tracks on the album, including the opening track "Al Qaeda (Branch Davidian)" and the closing track "Waco Postmortem (Murrah)", as well as other individual tracks, reference the events to push forward the narrative, a technique that has been compared to British ethnic electronica musician Muslimgauze (who Fernow has addressed as being the inspiration for the Vatican Shadow project).
