The album showcases the core guitar duo - Stephen O_Malley and Greg Anderson - incorporating influences from a plethora of guest musicians, bringing the Sunn O))) sound to epic new levels. The band took an approach concentrating towards the timbre of feedback and the instruments involved, so the piece is really illusory, beautiful and not entirely linear, stating that the end product is _the most musical piece we_ve done, and also the heaviest, powerful and most abstract set of chords we_ve laid to tape.
