Even though Mike DiMeo was initially chosen as the singer for the album after Joe Lynn Turner was fired,Ian Gillan eventually returned to the band in late 1992 and had to rework much of the material already existing for it,which had been intended for Joe Lynn Turner and DiMeo. After his firing Turner quoted Ritchie Blackmore referring to the album as "The cattle grazes on". Blackmore allegedly became infuriated at perceived non-melodic elements and left the band for good after a show on 17 November of that same year in Helsinki,Finland.
