Influences

  • The introduction of "Mental Decay" is the theme from Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky.
  • The album's closing track, "Beyond and Back", was apparently inspired by a sequence from the 1978 Sunn Classic Pictures' 'deathsploitation' film Beyond and Back. Like the song, part of the film tells the story of a person who endures a near death experience after committing suicide. The person visits hell, only to be spared to return to the world of the living shortly thereafter.
