On January 3, 2012, a music video for the track "Cathedral Walls" was released by the band.[5] The song features guest vocals by former Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon. The band made the entire album available for streaming on the Finnish metal magazine Inferno's website, from January 25 until its release a week later on February 1.[6]

This is the last release with Kai Hahto, as he would quit to work with Nightwish two years later.
