Background

Grace Submerged was produced by Herbrand Larsen, former keyboardist of Enslaved. Ivar Bjørnson of the same band makes an appearance on the album, co-writing "Dead End Poem".

The album features an interpretation of the Phil Lynott-penned "Don't Believe A Word", which Terrorizer Magazine called "a chilling ballad". Krister Dreyer ("Morfeus") plays the piano and keyboards in that song and the samples in "Submerged".

The song "Moonlit" was released as a music video.
