This album was recorded in four cities and three countries. We thank our friends / engineers / gracious hosts to nomads: Joe Byrne owner at The Farm studio (Essex, Ontario Canada), Jason Tedford owner at Wolfman Studios (Little Rock, Arkansas USA), Mike Radka owner and Frank Phobia partner at Akdar Studios (Bernville, Pennsylvania USA) and Олег Котрунов a.k.a. Oleg Kotrunov (Volgograd, Volgograd Oblast Russia).

For the first time in Jucifer history, we included guests on our recording. We thank Лариса Медведева, Владимир Котрунов, and Мария Котрунова (Larisa Medvedeva, Vladimir Kotrunov and Maria Kotrunova) for their wonderful job voicing 'The Land' and 'Child' narrations and Maria's beautiful a capella singing of the patriotic song. Without these friends' native speech, commitment to acting their parts, and Larisa's amazing adaptation of our written story from English to Russian which transferred its rhythm and feel impeccably, the album would not have been complete to us. In addition we thank the Kotrunov / Medvedeva family for giving us such an in-depth tour of their city and welcoming us in their home.

We would like to thank author Robert K. Massie for his excellent books about the Romanovs, which helped maintain and expand our lifelong interest in Russian history.

We would also like to thank Максим Иванов for finding our contact and bringing us to tour in Russia for the first time in 2011, a dream come true, and paving the way for our return last year and again this summer. We thank Max for his work and hospitality, as well as all the other friends we've been grateful to find there who've helped by promoting shows, attending shows, hosting us, feeding us, singing along to our songs, helping us haul gear, chaperoning us to airports and train stations, teaching us necessary Russian swears, and surprising us with cold beer or hot coffee when it's most needed... not to mention taking us to historical sites and museums they already had to visit too many times on school field trips.

Special thanks to Татьяна for giving us her Russian / English dictionary, so invaluable on the trains, and to Алекс / Саша / Винс for pointing us to a better online translator. If there are flaws in our use of Russian on this record, it won't be their fault!

Special thanks to the booking agents, promoters, publicists, press, venue staff and support bands everywhere who help make our endless tour possible.

Extra special thanks to artist Jim Altieri for his indispensable work creating layouts and special fonts for this album and for Throned In Blood and the Nadir reissue, as well as awesome tour posters; and for his incredibly thoughtful gifts of food, beer and coconut water to help keep us going in the studio. He is a true friend and a crucial member of the Nomadic Fortress Army.

Extra special thanks to David Hall and Christopher "C.T." Terry at Mutants of the Monster for helping us release this beast, and again to David for his work creating past and forthcoming music videos for Jucifer. It means the world to have support from such talented and all-around-good dudes.

Extra special thanks to our families, our friends, and our fans. You keep us here.

Finally, it is with the greatest respect and gratitude that we dedicate this album to all who defended Stalingrad. In a 2011 report it was estimated that about 1,500 survivors of that battle remain living in the city and region. To them, and to the descendants of those hundreds of thousands defenders already passed on, we hope our work conveys our deep reverence for their love and courage, which inspired it.
