The album was released in several formats. The standard edition was issued in a jewel case and included the 10 album tracks and a bonus track.[5] A digipak edition included the album with the bonus track, and a bonus live CD, recorded in Los Angeles during the Rocket Ride tour. A mailorder edition, available exclusively through the Nuclear Blast webshop, was issued in a tin case. A double LP version was also available.

Initial press reaction to the album was positive, with Tanja Weinekötter of Fury calling it "the strongest Edguy album so far",[6] whilst frontman Tobias Sammet felt that it "could be the album we'll be measured by in the future".[7]

A video was shot for the track "Ministry of Saints" in Belgrade, Serbia.[8]
