* Much of the more religious-like lyrics are attributed to Morgan and Mortuus' fascination with
the Bible , as they are both Bible experts (despite Marduk's anti-religious stance, Morgan has admitted that he uses the Bible as inspiration solely for its violent content, as he finds death and violence to be most inspirational for Marduk, and that he can write a complete song mentally by just looking at a violent painting or image).
* "The Hangman of Prague" refers toReinhard Heydrich after the invasion ofCzecholslovakia .Personnel
* Mortuus – vocals
