Jeremiah Scott handled the production duties and Demon Hunter frontman Ryan Clark guests on the opening track "Screwtape". Throwdown frontman Dave Peters also appears on the album, guesting on the song "Despair".
Band guitarist/vocalist Bruce Fitzhugh said of the title: "Ghost Thief is a reference to the personification of death. Depending on the circumstance, death can be greeted as an enemy or a friend. We have a few songs that deal with the suddenness and finality of death. 'Ghost Thief' and 'Sudden' both are inspired by people who died suddenly and unexpectedly. Friends of ours or family members that we were close to."
