Background edit

Ville Valo of the band HIM recorded backing vocals for the song "Angels Walk Among Us".[2] The title of the album is taken from a song of the same name that was sung in the Allied trenches of World War I to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne".[2]

It is the last album to feature keyboardist Les Smith, as well as the first to feature vocalist Lee Douglas as an official band member.
