This album saw the addition of a vocalist, Glenn Hansen, as Tony Portaro concentrated on guitar duties instead of the dual role he had performed on previous albums.

It seems that the original album title may have been Rape of the Mind, as Tony Portaro says in a live performance video recorded at Copenhagen.
