The album was written by vocalist Andre Matos and guitarist Timo Tolkki, with the former focusing on lyrics and the latter focusing on the music, and both having some input on each other's parts.[2]

The drums were recorded in two days by Uli Kusch in a separate studio, with the guitars, bass and keyboards recorded in Helsinki. Work on vocals started on the first day of 2011 in a cabin on top of a mountain, where Matos and Tolkki remained isolated with no internet or telephone.[2]

Regarding the music of the album, Matos said:[2]

[...] one thing that I always said on interviews [...], was the following: 'Symfonia is not supposed to be a band or a project that was meant to reinvent the style [...]. What we wanted was to get all those famous musicians together who somehow had their highlights in this specific musical field and see what comes out of it. See when those people are together, and if they deliver their best, what kind of power metal comes out of it.' So this was the proposal of the album, and we never denied it. So if someone came with some criticism like, 'But it's more of the same, and it brings nothing new. It just sounds like Stratovarius and Angra.' Well, that's exactly what we wanted.

In Paradisum was mixed in Italy.[2]
