Following A Deeper Kind of Slumber, the band took a less ambiguous direction to their style, utilizing a Gothic rock sound but with various atmospheric soundscapes/effects and female background vocals added in.
"Church of Tiamat" (Track #1) is also the name of the band's official website.
The end of the song "As Long as You Are Mine" includes a quote of the opening of French poet Jean de La Fontaine's fable Le Loup et l’Agneau (The Wolf and the Lamb). The end of the song "Lucy" contains a popular sample from the 1957 science-fiction film The Brain from Planet Arous.
