Current 93: William Breeze, John Contreras, Michael Cashmore, Steven Stapleton, W. Basinski, Ben Chasny, Amy Phillips.

The album also features guest appearances from singers Bonnie "Prince" Billy, Marc Almond, and Antony Hegarty of Anthony & the Johnsons fame, all of whom contribute versions of the dark hymn "Idumea."
