Shadows of the Past features more prominent death metal elements than would be present later in their career. On the introduction speech of North from Here 2008 re-release, Jarva states that at the time of Shadows of the Past the band was just a "Death clone" amongst others, so the band chose to pursue a more technical and personal-sounding direction on their second album.

The album has had three different covers: the original release drawn by Luxi Lahtinen, the Century Media 1995 reissue drawn by Taneli Jarva, and the 2008 reissue which is a reproduction of a medieval woodcut print. This version also includes an insert featuring the first two covers.

The album title on the original cover is misspelled as "Shadows of Past".
