This is the only album by My Dying Bride to feature the drumming of Bill Law. It is also the first not to feature long-time keyboardist and violinist
Martin Powell , who would become a full-time member ofCradle of Filth shortly after the album was released.The spoken word interlude during "The Whore, The Cook and The Mother" is based on the simulant interrogation method from the movie
