The songs of this album continue the sci-fi story about the Iron Savior ship. In total, it included eleven new songs and three covers.
The song “After the War” has a different version released by Masterplan in the Aeronautics album in 2005 . This is because it was written by Pete Silk together with Jan-Soren Eckert, who later transferred to Masterplan. Unlike the original song, which sings about the soldier returning from the war, in the Masterplan version of “After this War” the text refers to breaking up with the girl.
