A concept by Mr. Doctor, the title of the album is a reference to the Roman Emperor Elagabalus.

Background
In 1989, Mr. Doctor began the work on two compositions, The Black Holes of My Mind, a 45-minute composition incorporating esoteric quotations and subliminal messages; and Eliogabalus, a 60-minute composition inspired by Antonin Artaud's book "Heliogabalus: Or, The Crowned Anarchist".
In December Devil Doll entered Tivoli Studios with Jurij Toni to record a new album. Hurdy Gurdy's budget limitations forced Mr. Doctor to cut down the two former compositions, in order to include both on a single vinyl release.
Only the Italian section, and the Slovenian guitarist Bor Zuljan, was used to record the album.
Eliogabalus was released in 1990, the shortened version of The Black Holes of My Mind was renamed "Mr. Doctor" for this release, while "Eliogabalus" retained its name.
