Albumet er skrevet med inspirasjon fra blant annet forfatterne Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Michael Moorcock og C. L. Moore. I tillegg byr albumet på et møte med Virgin Steeles David DeFeis hvor han bidrar på låten «The Dark Kingdom (Invoking The Nightside)«.

A fitting sonic tribute to literary masters such as Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Michael Moorcock, C. L. Moore, and others, ETERNAL WINTER delivers the goods in royal story-telling fashion. In addition to over-the-top epics loaded with vocal theatrics and shredding musicianship, the song cycle also includes a lengthy duet between Matthew Knight and David DeFeis of VIRGIN STEELE.
