Songs from this album continue the sci-fi story about the Iron Savior ship. In total, it included twelve new songs and three covers. To demonstrate the upcoming release, the Coming Home mini-album was released.
During the festival in 1998, Iron Savior, along with reporters from Rock Hard and Metal Hammer, held a contest among little-known groups for the right to include their song in a future album. As a result, the choice rested on the song βDragonslayerβ by the Swiss power metal band Excelsis .
The disc hit one of the German charts, taking 79th place there [5] .
