Most of the songs in this album are new and enhanced versions for songs Draconian had previously written for its demos and EPs, mainly for "Dark Oceans We Cry" and "Frozen Features".

The first song, "The Cry of Silence", is the longest on the album and is considered as one of Draconian's best songs. The song features a choir, along with Anders' growlings (main singing style), speech and Lisa's vocals. It describes a misanthropic man who wishes to live away from all others and "die in silence", a theme which is also present in "The Solitude".

gollark: To clarify that it's a library. Of course, you would import it as potato still.
gollark: I would probably need to come up with a suitably vaguely ridiculous name, such as "libpotato".
gollark: Just use a minifier™.
gollark: There are probably a bunch of other utilities which would be neat which I repeat a lot, I think often stuff for fiddling with table formats.
gollark: Including stuff like "read all of handle and then close it" (plus convenience stuff for fs.open/http.get), probably some of potatOS's random vaguely general-purpose stuff like compression, "safe" (de)serialization, map/reduce/filter/other stuff, randomly pick item from list, generate random bytestring, etc.
