Story and Concept
The album's lyric sheet is presented in a comic book-like fashion, with talk boxes narrating the story. The album's concept begins with "Bury the Hatchet." This tells of a cult, which Ghoul defeats, attacking Ghoul in an effort to take the crystal skull in their possession. Later, the cult comes back with Killbot, defeats Ghoul, and takes over Creepsylvania. Creepsylvania becomes a fundamentalist Christian state while Ghoul waits to get revenge.
Critical reception
In a review for Last Rites, Chris Chellis called it "a potential member of the Top 3 Albums of 2006".
