Produced and directed by Stefan Altzar, a music video was filmed for the title track. In addition, official lyric videos were created for the songs ‘Night Of Winterlight’ and ‘Queen Of Eternity’. Speaking about the latter, keyboardist Daniel “Blackwald” Beckman said: “It tells the story of a timeless and omnipotent celestial entity, an immortal and unfathomably powerful ethereal being, namely the Queen Of Eternity. She is the spirit and warden of realities and time, and the immortal protector of the cosmic winds. She is awakened from her slumber when unknown and malicious rifts in the space time continuum sends tremors through the fabric of mana. In the events which transpire in this particular song, she is facing the galactic ruler of the dark dimensions, who seeks to eradicate life, order, and time.

“‘Queen Of Eternity’ is a fast paced journey through interdimensional portals, propelled by furious guitarwork and pounding drums. The song is also enlivened with a choral part, where the chanting of empyreal choirs constitutes a hymn in celebration of the saviour of the cosmos!”
