The album's title is a simple substitution cipher for the word "evil"; where each letter is represented by its equivalent numerical position in the alphabet. The album was unusual in that it primarily features a female voice, that of Christine "99" Kowalski, on vocals, with regular frontman Jean-Luc De Meyer only appearing on a few tracks.
