"Genesis" was recorded at IF Studios ( In Flames, The Haunted, etc.) by producer Roberto Laghi. All tracks have been mastered at Fascination Street Studio ( Opeth, Paradise Lost, Enslaved, Grand Magus and many more). The remastering of the demo tracks was done using the original master tapes. The CD version also includes three live bootleg video enhancements as a bonus.

Besides the historical musical content the release is packed with in-depth information on the history of Evocation. A foreword has been written by Anzo Sadoni (Metal Hammer), Björn-Thorsten Jaschinski (Rock Hard & Legacy) and Frank Schenk (Chaos Magazine) took a deep dive into Evocation's history from their start in 1991 until the reunion in 2005 and on until the release of the band's highly praised third studio album Apocalyptic. Guitarist Marko Palmén comments on every song and gives not just a glimpse but a detailed view into the writing process of the demos. All this information gets underlined by an elaborate usage of band photos, concert flyers and other visual content from the years 1991 to 1993 and the noble and balanced layout by Xaay ( Nile, Behemoth etc.).
