The album was recorded at Soundmix Studio in the band's hometown, Oulu, with Kari Vähäkuopus and mixed by Aksu Hanttu at Grooveland Studio in Lahti.

Tracklisting is as follows: 'Intro', 'Diane', 'Left Behind', 'Bear The Cross', 'A Dead Heavy Day', 'Me Myself And I', 'X', 'Human-Compost', 'The Days Between', 'Hatelove', 'Low Life', 'Only You Can Tear Me Apart'.

The single 'Bear The Cross' will only be released in Finland on August 13th. It doesn’t only feature two brand-new album songs, but also an exclusive semi-acoustic live track the band performed on Oulu’s Radio Mega. 'Bear The Cross' is likely to continue the success of Poisonblack's last single 'Rush', which entered the Finnish single charts at #5. The song had been taken from the band’s 2006 album Lust Stained Despair, which achieved a phenomenal position #2 in the Finnish album charts.
