Talking about the title track, the band says: "Combining breakneck tempos with soaring melodies while matching high-tone vocals with twin lead guitars, this track encompasses ILLUSION FORCE's signature style of catchy metal."

Discussing about the album, they add: "After and exhilarating experience of performing and recording around Japan for the last 5 years, we can finally announce our first worldwide album release!
