Cover artist Xaay, who has already worked with the band on the previous album „Apocalyptic”, proves with his dark and deep cover artwork to be the perfect choice for the new album. „Illusions Of Grandeur” has been produced at the IF Studios (In Flames, The Haunted etc.) and Evocation Studios by Roberto Laghi. It has been mastered at the Bohus Sound Studios by Dragan Tanaskovic. Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth is doing guest vocals on the song „Into Submission”.
