Central to the album’s power is its production, handled by Eskil Lövström and Pelle Henricsson. The record thrives on extreme dynamic shifts—moving from whisper-quiet electronic pulses to explosive, jagged riffs in a matter of seconds.

In FLAC, the separation between instruments ensures that the chaotic climax doesn't devolve into a muddy wall of sound, but stays a sharp, articulated assault. The "chimerical" nature of the record—its ability to be many things at once—is best represented when every frequency, from the sub-bass synths to the high-end vocal strain of Dennis Lyxzén, is rendered with total fidelity.
