The band comments: "As the album's title suggests, Mysterium dwells on the topics of spirituality and religiosity. From the opener, 'Lord Of Knowledge And Death', to the closing number, 'All In Your Name', every inch of this record drips with it."

The label adds: "Musically, the band's black metal roots are back in full force, allowing the atmospheres to develop through songs of epic proportions, mostly clocking around 8 or 9 minutes each. Mysterium covers a wide musical specter, from slower ritualistic parts, to furious blasts and thrashy riffs or the surprisingly melodic choirs."
