\nRecorded at various studios, including Dobra12 (drums) and Icaros Studio (guitars) the disc was mixed and mastered at Impressive Art Studio by Przemyslaw Nowak who also handled vocals recording sessions and guitars\u2019 re-amping. The album\u2019s artwork, design and layout were created by Infected Minds. <\/p>\n
The album features special guest appearances by MERCYFUL FATE \/ KING DIAMOND\u2019s guitarist Mike Wead and by Norway\u2019s dark metal masters AETERNUS\u2019 vocalist \/ guitarist Ares.

\u201cIt\u2019s been a really long way to be finally able to wrap it all up, countless nights spent on writing the music and lyrics first, then working on the album\u2019s pre-production, followed by what seemed to be never-ending, proper recording sessions, and tones of work that had to be done for the band afterwards. We really wanted this new album to become something really special and therefore, to avoid any haphazard decisions, we let them come out of us smoothly, without putting ourselves under any external tension and stuff. Did it pay off? Well, we\u2019ll see\u2026 We surely worked our asses off, pushed things back and forth to get the best out of it. As a result we\u2019ve got something we are damn proud of, something that we believe surpasses on all possible levels everything we\u2019ve done in the past. I simply believe we\u2019d outdone ourselves and recorded something that will cause your hearts beat faster\u2026\u201d \u2013 comments Quazarre, the band\u2019s composer, vocalist and guitarist.<\/p>\n
The title chosen, \u201cThe I\u201d, for the record is not only a phonetic acronym of the band\u2019s name, but above all it reflects the manifesto they stand for since the Horde\u2019s inception in the year 2000 \u2013 the notion of freedom of choice and will. A supremacy of an individual over any external factors being imposed on us by others, with special emphasis on religion and its convictions, dogmas and paradigms. \u201cThe I\u201d is a rebellious manifesto targeted against all those who stand opposed to anything that drives us towards individual perfection. <\/p>\n
