- The album was released on October 7, 2008, by Temporary Residence Ltd.
- "Doomsdayer's Holiday" features a more focused and dynamic approach to song structure compared to some of their earlier, sprawling works.
- The record was primarily recorded and mixed by Justin Broadrick, known for his work with Godflesh and Jesu.
Grails is a Portland, Oregon-based band known for their instrumental, genre-bending approach that fuses elements of doom metal, psychedelic rock, and post-rock. "Doomsdayer's Holiday" arrived midway through their career, following the more concise "Burning Off Impurities" and preceding the extensive touring that would define their sound in the subsequent decade.
