According to an article on the Sealand News website, the members of the band were named official lords of Sealand in recognition of naming their album after the self-proclaimed micronation.[4] On September 30, 2007, it was announced that Airiel would be the first rock band to perform at Sealand;[5][6] however, the concert did not take place.
The band lineup for the album's recording included guitarist Chris DeBrizzio, bassist/vocalist Cory Osborne, drummer John Rungger and guitarist/vocalist Jeremy Wrenn.[1] German electronic musician, remixer and Tangerine Dream member Ulrich Schnauss made a guest appearance on the track "Sugar Crystals".[1][7]
