Released in standard jewel case with 12-page booklet, including 8 photos by Sean Hartgrove, credits, thanks notes,
and introduction text from last page shown below:

"In a Promethean sense, man is a God. But on an even
more profound level, man is a beast. This primary
contradiction has plagued mankind for millennia. Man is
a God. Man is a beast.. These two aspects of his
personality have been waging war with one another for
countless centuries; a war whose casualties are seen
everywhere and recognised nowhere. But there exists,
however, a long forgotten place in the soul where God
and beast intersect. To go to that place is to witness the
death of one world and the birth of another...join me."
