The album is the result of several studio sessions, featuring some reworked tracks from Starkweather's recording sessions for their 2005 album Croatoan. The opening track "Epiphany" dates back to live performances in the late 1990s. This Sheltering Night was completed in 2008, however Starkweather had to wait til 2010 to terminate their contract with Candlelight Records before they could switch to their current label Deathwish Inc and finally release the album. This album is the first Starkweather recording with bassist Vincent Rosa, and features extensive lead guitar work by frequent collaborator Bill Molchanow as well as soundscape interludes by producer Oktopus (Alap Momin from Dälek) and Liz Jacobs (Sophia Perennis).^[2]
