* FaceOfTheBand: Dan, who is the main songwriter and does most of the talking in interviews. In his other two major projects, Giles Corey and Nahvalr, Dan is literally the only member of the band.

** "I Don't Love" isn't as ominous or unnerving as the tracks that precede it. It makes up for this by being crushingly sad in a way that goes further than anything else on the album. Between Dan despondently singing "I don't want to feel like this anymore" and the abrasive, fuzzed-out guitars, it sounds like a musical DespairEventHorizon. Despite how grim the album is up to that point, it's heartbreaking to hear Dan sound so depressed and despondent.

* ContestedSequel: Opinions on ''Sea of Worry'' are split rather starkly between those who consider it to be another great album from the band, and those who consider it to be a disappointingly weak and forgettable album. There are very few who would argue it's better than the first two albums, however.

The rest of the booklet details Antiochus's growth of a {{Cult}} to the point where they even ''begin killing other people as a way to help them reach "enlightenment"''.
