The Devil's Trade mastermind Dávid Makó comments on the first song, "The Sleep That Dragged You Away" is the hardest and therefore the most liberating song of my life so far. It was my first experience of failure as a songwriter and singer. The writing process itself was a near nervous breakdown experience, and then I completely broke down during the recording. I had to withdraw and seriously consider the possibility of giving up. It deals with one of the most defining childhood traumas of my life and the most defining trauma of my adult life so far. It has become a real cliché that music can have a therapeutic effect, and I usually avoid that term, but in this case, it is a truly cathartic processing every time I listen to or perform it."

The album has seven songs, and "The Sleep That Dragged You Away" is first. Out of the gate, you are hit with a very weighted, and at time dissonant sound. The vocals are clean, and the sound is depressive. It swells, until the end, when atmospheric tones take over. "Weltschmerz" features gentle keyboard notes mixed into the haze. The heavy tones that follow are very emotional, especially from the vocals. "All This Sadness" is shortest on the album and packed with covert tension. It's so thick, it's like the fog of morning that hasn't lifted yet. "All This Sadness Will Be Gone" is a declarative follow up, but judging by its tones, I am not convinced. Although it sports a lot of weight, it is still on the depressive side of the spectrum.

"Your Pieces Scattered" has a firm riff that also pushed a bit of melody. It's slow, calculated, and despondent at times, and that bottom end is very heavy. The vocals are ethereal over top however, and it reminds me of the balance of a band like KATATONIA. He sings, "without you I'm free, but I miss you so." "Nincs Szennyezettlen Szep" features mostly clean guitars and vocals that are depressive, but there are also screamed vocals and deep drum and riff strikes in the second half of the song. "Idengen Minden" closes the album, and I believe it is sung in his native language. It's mostly vocals, clean tones, and again, more tension.

One of the things I appreciate most about the album is a deep darkness and tension that runs through every song. It is held just below the surface and out of view, but it is real. Mostly depressive, but sometimes defiant, the album will hold your interest.
