An "angelmaker" was a woman who, in the 1800s/early 1900s "took care" of children born out of wedlock for money. She adopted the children, and then by starving, poisoning and manhandling the poor children, she "turned them into angels," hence the term angelmaker. The last angelmaker in Sweden was sentenced as late as in the 1930s.

Commented guitarist Janne Stark: "Musically this album is true to the '80s way of heavy metal, bringing in influences from the classic metal era of bands like ACCEPT and JUDAS PRIEST with no modern elements whatsoever. Not that we've ever been modern. I know all bands say it, but we do sincerely feel this will be our strongest album ever."

The lineup is still Per "PerilOz" Karlsson on vocals, Janne Stark and Kjell Jacobsson on guitars, Kenth Ericsson on bass and Kenta Svensson on drums.
