This release represents the further development of the dark droning style that Evergreen Forest began on 'Aboard the Galley of Approaching Doom'. The songs are far more developed, lengthy and also atmospheric than anything on the previous EP though. Songs such as the looming epic 'Within the Hall of Illusions' perfectly illustrate Evergreen Forest's darker and scarier side while songs such as 'The Colossal Waves of Consciousness' and 'Catharsis', while still as dark as the others, also show a new level of experimentation within Evergreen Forest. On ''Fate Whispers to Us' and 'Within the Hall of Illusions' Evergreen Forest experiments with poetic lyrics and many of the songs feature vocals of sorts. As such this EP was not only the most ambitious and experimental Evergreen Forest EP at the time of its release but also the most appealing and enjoyable. 'But the Sun Remains Hidden [A Creature Deep Within the Caverns Version]' is based on the song 'But the Sun Remains Hidden' from the 'Aboard the Galley...' EP while 'The Flames on Their Graves Danced Hypnotic Waltzes [Melisandre Part II]' is the sequel to the pastoral paean to Melisandre from George RR Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series that can be found on 'A Mountain of Ivy'. There is a sample from the film 'American Psycho' (2001) in the song 'Catharsis'.
