The recording and mixing were completed in Sound Suite Studio in Marseille, France with producer Terje Refsnes, who previously worked with groups of similar genres such as Trail of Tears, Tristania, Sirenia and Carpathian Forest among many. Carving an Icon was finally released on 20 February 2015.

The cover art was created by renowned Brazilian graphic designer Marcelo Vasco, creator of the covers of bands such as Machine Head, Dimmu Borgir and Borknagar.
