Musical style and lyrics

The album is less influenced by traditional black metal and closer to Gothenburg metal[2] or traditional heavy metal[5] than Dissection's former albums, but, according to Decibel journalist Chris D., still "very much Nödtveidt and very much Dissection".[6] The lyrics reflect the occult tenets of the Misanthropic Luciferian Order (MLO) and are "based on invocations and formulas that have been linked into the lyrics to evoke the powers that they represent. Occult musical theory has been applied in the song writing process as a means of symbolically charging their structures. They have also been written inspired by scientific ideas such as string theory. The songs have all been written with the intention of using sounds and vibrations as an Anti-Cosmic tool and they have all been consciously created to be the vessels for these powers."[4] In the grimoire Liber Azerate, released by the MLO, reinchaos is defined as "the return to chaos and acausal existence."[7]
