The bulk of the album was recorded at UT Connewitz; a spectacular and worn down pre-war cinema in the heart of Leipzig, Germany. Other recordings were done on tour in Paris, New York, a small church in Sibrandahûs, Netherlands, a boat in Hong Kong and at the CST train station in Bombay. The album was then finalized and patched together in ORKA's London studio.
On LEIPZIG ORKA's trademark custom instruments and dark sound are fused with resounds from UK Bass and LA Beat topped with icy North Atlantic vocals. The resulting genre is what ORKA call Club Gaze.

Odin’s Raven Magic est un album surprenant – pas tant que ça quand on connaît un peu Sigur Rós. Son côté liturgique est parfois minimaliste, mais l’ensemble recrée une ambiance de fin des temps qui enfonce tous les black-metaleux du monde. (Chroniqué sur https://alias.erdorin.org) Stéphane Gallay
