All of the album's lyrics were written either by members of other black metal bands or Nocturno Culto[1] (unlike the band's usual method on other Darkthrone albums, in which Fenriz was the main lyricist).

The album was released on CD and LP; the vinyl edition featured different cover art. In March 2011, Total Death was reissued by Peaceville Records with an extra track and an extra CD of commentary by the band members.[1] The extra track was recorded around the same time as the album and previously appeared on a Moonfog compilation.[1]

gollark: ```Despite their great size and strength, Celestial Dragons are a peaceful breed named for their spectral, starry appearance. Little else is known about them, as they spend the vast majority of their lives partially phased out of the plane of existence through the use of powerful magic. Celestial Dragons are thought to assume their corporeal form only long enough to reproduce or to die; the rest of the time, they resemble living, breathing constellations, impervious to all physical and magical harm.```
gollark: And don't forget celestials.
gollark: Actually, Bolts can do stun, which might help in a fight.
gollark: I suppose they're mostly just checked for grammar, time-matchingness and slight sanity.
gollark: I expect that in most fights the Guardian of Nature would win though.
