It is the only album to feature drummer Creature before his departure in December 2015 and the only one to feature King Ov Hell before his departure in June 2018. The album is composed mostly of content that Abbath had originally prepared for the next Immortal album, which was ultimately never used for it following his departure from the band in 2015. On January 12, 2016, the entire album was made available for streaming . Critical reception. Reviewing for "Exclaim!", Renee Trotier wrote that Abbath has "proven that he doesn't need the Immortal name to expand his black metal legacy." MetalSucks' Excretakano described the record as "one hell of a ride, and very true to the music our man has built his name around."
