The cover art is the product of the visionary artist/musician Niklas Sundin The picture is an original drawing in the style of renaissance woodcut illustrations, and portrays the members of Kiuas as the four - or in this case five - horsemen of the Apocalypse with a dismal landscape that combines ancient and modern times.

The song "Of Sacrifice, Loss and Reward" will also be released as a Single in Finland in February. The single will feature two other songs as well including the Japan bonus track which won't be otherwise available to fans in Finland.

A video for the song "Conqueror" will be shot on the 18th of February. Owe Lingwall is responsible for the script and direction of the video.

Kiuas will tour Finland intensively in March and April. The tour dates will be announced soon.
