The album is a mixture of diverse genre of rock music. While it has peppiness and youthful enthusiasm in Kastadyne's "Chickenator", it also has the non-conformist "Uncle Damn" by Alter Ego. Many fans have loved the Indian flavour in songs such as Vertigo's "Believe" and Pralay's "Moksha".

eDuration.com, a professional branding and creative company has designed the album sleeve. All tracks have been arranged at Purplebeast Studios, Bangalore; some tracks have been re-mastered by Raj Narayan Das from Bangalore.

According to DogmaTone Records promoters, Sunil, Ramprakash Varun and Shyam, people in India aren't really open to the concept of "an Indian record label that focuses only on rock music". Citing the fact that there is an abundance of talent in our own backyards; but no encouragement, they said, "DogmaTone Records is set out to bring out talent from all over India. We are moving ahead in phases and our first step is to create awareness about Rock music and make people realize the gap that exists between mediocre remixes and the pure "Rock Tone".

Apart from being music lovers and rock fans, the team behind DogmaTone hails from the IT industry of Bangalore. While Sunil is a drummer, Shyam is a song-writer and composer, Varun is a guitarist and vocalist, and Ramprakash, was formerly the manager of a rock band.
