Miscellanea

* Vocalist Chris Boltendahl was inspired with this album by a book named "Liberty Or Death" by a Cretean writer. The book directly inspired the title song about the Greek revolution on Crete and then the theme of the rest of the album.

* Two songs deal with Germany's treatment of the Jews in the Second World War and a further two more about more Ancient Jewish history. "Ocean of Blood" tells of Moses parting the Red Sea and "Massada" tells of the siege of Masada at the end of the First Jewish-Roman War. "March of the Innocent" is about the Holocaust and "Ship of Hope" tells of the "Voyage of the Damned" of the SS St. Louis. "Highland Tears" deals with freedom in Scotland. "Forecourt to Hell" deals with the gladiators in the Roman Empire age. "The Terrible One" is about Ivan, the Terrible. "Until the Last King Died" is about the French Revolution. Boltendahl says that the number of songs on this subject was not intended, but that the stories were interesting on their own. [http://www.bravewords.com/news/61726 1]
