Guitarist Waclaw 'Vogg' Kieltyka commented on the album artwork, which was produced by Lukasz Jaszak:
“Carnival: war, rape, lies, pathology, evil displayed through certain events and situations of the latest years in the world. Is Forever - I guess it doesn't need explaining. Both the text and the title are bitterly ironic. The art is very intriguing and quite strange for a metal album but surely staying in memory. A vital thing is that it's a photo. We did not want any computer graphics this time or anything artificial or plastic. The same regards the production of the album. We had actually been thinking about getting a painting for the cover but unfortunately we couldn't do it. Maybe next time.”
The album is the first release from the death metallers since their 2006 LP Organic Hallucinosis, and the tragic accident which resulted in the death of founding drummer Witold 'Vitek' Kiełtyka . The album was produced by Wacek Kietyka and engineered by Malta Arkadiusz Malczewski. Drums and mixing duties were handled by Daniel Bergstrand (Behemoth, Meshuggah, Dimmu Borgir).
