The artwork was done by drummer Michel "Away" Langevin.[14] It is also a concept album,[7] and the first Voivod studio album to feature bassist Dominique "Rocky" Laroche, who replaced Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault in 2014.[15] It was recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Recording Studio in Canada.[16]

Background

In an interview with Metal Hammer about the musical style of the album, Langevin said:

"The music is like a futuristic prog thrash metal trek with many twists and turns. The story involves the usual Voivodian topics: disasters, chaos, conflicts, strange plots and alternate consciousness."[17]
