These were whittled down to eighteen for the recording sessions with twelve featuring on the album. The additional six songs were left for a later release.

The instrumental track Eidola was written by Jansen who worked on the arrangement with keyboard player Coen Janssen "[adding] an orchestra which gives a cinematic feel".
