When asked on the meaning of the album, Agius remarked:{{cquote|It has many meanings that's for sure. It depends on what dictionary you use, but its basically the action of a mortar and pestle, grinding massaging ingredients together, Its a good analogy of Alchemist music.|author=Hail Metal's interview with Adam Agius[http://www.hailmetal.com/gate.html?name=MReviews&op=show&rid=323 Hail Metal's interview with Adam Agius]}}
