The majority of this album was composed under the impression of a pilgrimage to the castle of Erszebeth Nadasdy in Winter 1994 CE. In comparison to it?s predecessor "The Priest Must Die" and "Blood On My Lips" show a much improved production which allows the twisted song material to come to (undead) life and grants COUNTESS their own identity. Of course the musical base of NWOBHM and Black Metal of the early eighties was retained.
