The album was written while the band was touring. The album and first track spell "paegan" with an added "e" to resemble Old English.

The album's cover is a painting by Dr. Jack Kevorkian


The lyrics on this album are poetic and further showcase Dax Riggs's dark sense of humor. "Paegan Love Song", according to Dax, makes references to when the band was visiting a beach in Florida, where some people offered the band a deliriant called Angel's Trumpets. Dax said the trip lasted for days, and the lines "dying felt so goddamn good today" refer to the band members waking up delirious on these flowers. "Eating dead flowers bleeding in a strange daze" among other lines in the song reference the experience of waking up on the beach with this seemingly strange intoxicated state. "Graveflower" has a guitar solo that heavily employs a drone. "13 Fingers" and "New Corpse" experiment with black metal musicianship. Sammy Duet co-wrote the lyrics for "Diäb Soulé" and "New Corpse". "Diäb Soulé" is Cajun French for the "drunken devil." The liner notes present Sammy Duet as Sammy "Pierre" Duet, which is a nickname Dax gave him because a historical witch was named Sammy Pierre Duet. The poem/hidden track "Ode of the Paegan" is sometimes cited or referred to as "The Beautiful Downgrade" and appear as such in Dax's poetry books. The hidden track along with the track "Old Skin" make up the two spoken word poems on the album. While on tour in Mexico, the band took a reverse negative photo of the head of a decapitated animal and originally intended on using that as the album cover.They later decided on Kevorkian's artwork.
