Composer and keyboardist Elias Holmlid said the following about the new record:
“The vision for the album was to revisit and reimagine domains traversed by Dragonland in the past, as well as to explore new terrain. This album contains it all – epic fantasy stories, gripping ballads and blazingly fast power metal anthems, accompanied by a plethora of diverse lyrical themes.
Basically, we set no boundaries for ourselves thematically, and we wanted to reflect this in the cover artwork. Taking inspiration from ‘hit pack’ computer game compilations from the 1980s, we once again reached out to Pedro Sena, who also did the cover for ‘The Power of the Nightstar’. The result is the beautiful artwork that we now reveal, where each segment relates to a specific track on the album”
