Commented EDGUY vocalist Tobias Sammet: "Nuclear Blast gave us a fortune to produce this album and it was enough to even buy all sorts of useless things on top of it. When they opened their wallets, they did not know wed come up with the best album since 'Back In Black'. And now they even get some of their money back, fantastic!
"It seems like the assholes who dislike the album are just a minority (of maybe 6.9297 billion people worldwide, but thats a different story it just proves that a lot of asses need to be kicked yet and we start the convincing-the-world-that-EDGUY-are-the-kings-of-metal-tour next Thursday in Malm).
"Well, number 25 [on the 'worldwide' chart] is not too bad, considering that when those figures were ascertained, the album wasnt even out in a lot of countries (e.g. Canada, USA...)...
"Jesus, arent we great? God bless you, especially those who bought the album and also the fuckers who think were a bunch of losers without talent."

The miniature epic was shot in the forest with a large number of additional actors, starring German TV comedian Bernhard Hoecker in two different leading roles.
