Artwork

After the cover art was revealed in November 2004, which received positive feedback, a number of fans were disappointed by it because of the motive. The band stated that the cover isn't a message of the Devil and not against Christians, but a representation of a depressive Jesus Christ at his last days before his death.

Despite claims to the contrary, the album is not a concept album, although several songs are based on the last days of Jesus Christ:

  • "The Last Supper", about the last supper of Jesus Christ and the treachery of Judas
  • "Soul Savior", about Christianity
  • "Crucified", about the feeling of Jesus when he was crucified
  • "Divided Cross", about the time when Jesus was crucified and the feelings of the people
  • "Always and Eternally", about the memories and belief that remains after Christ died

Personnel

  • Chris Boltendahl - vocals
  • Manni Schmidt - guitars
  • Jens Becker - bass
  • Stefan Arnold - drums
  • H.P. Katzenburg - keyboards
