Borknagar mastermind Øystein G. Brun comments on the artwork as follows: “The cover and design for Urd is spot on when it comes to portraying the very core of the band. This time around we wanted an earthly expression through our cover and general design to support and empower the main themes on the album. You can almost smell and feel the texture of the old Norse wooden carvings - still there is a sophisticated and eclectic approach to the expression that entwines perfectly into the music. Marcelo Vasco enhanced our ideas into brilliance, he painted the face of the beast that is about to be unleashed..."

Borknagar recently finalized mixing duties for the album with Jens Bogren at Sweden's Fascination Street Studios. The tracklisting for the album is as follows:

'Epochalypse'
'Roots'
'The Beauty Of Dead Cities'
