Background

After the band parted ways with Parviainen in November, the band decided to find a new vocalist. They announced in December 2012 that their new vocalist would be Capri Virkkunen, a Finnish singer with 2 solo albums released to her name. Capri performs her vocals in a more traditional rock fashion, despite the fact that she is classically trained. To introduce the new vocalist, the band decided to release a compilation album of old songs but with the vocals re-recorded by Capri. [2]

Before the album's release, "Kokko - Eagle of Fire" was released as a single in May 2013, which was preceded by an official music video for the same song in April on the band's official YouTube channel. [3]

Cover art

On the cover art of the album is a throw-back to the band's previous releases, as under the store banner that reads: "MEDIA - The best rates in town" on the right of the cover, there is a door with the band's logo, and the window of the store contains cover art from the previous four albums.
