Background and recording

The album was recorded in Copenhagen, Tramp once again produced the album himself but relied on producer/engineer Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica) to engineer and mix the sessions in his own Sweet Silence Studios.[3]

Following a guest appearance on Tramp's last solo album, Recovering the Wasted Years, Oliver Steffenson, a lifelong friend of Tramp who was involved with the very early stages of White Lion and also with Tramp formed Freak of Nature, joins Tramp's solo band.

Release and promotion

The album's title track and "Don't Want to Say Good Night" were released as singles off the album.[4] [5] A music video made in Australia was released for the song "Lay Down My Life for You".

Following the release of the album, Tramp continued his attempt to reform the original White Lion line up, but by the end of 2003 had given up on the reunion and moved on with a new White Lion line up in 2004.
