==Background information==
When the tracks were recorded at Sunlight Studio, At the Gates had been playing together for "roughly" four months. Björler accredits this period as the time when At the Gates developed their musicianship, songwriting, and ability to work together.<ref name="AtTheGatesLucemFero">{{cite web|title=“The Flames of the End”? - Guitarist Anders Björler wishes to pen the final chapter in the glorious history of Swedish legends At The Gates|author=Morgan, Anthony|publisher=Lucem Fero|date=2007-11|url=http://www.lucemfero.com/atthegates112007.php|accessdate=2008-03-08}}</ref> In comparison to tracks which featured on later recordings, Björler believes the songs are less structured.<ref name="AtTheGatesLucemFero"/> Due to a modest studio budget combined with inexperience, the EP's production "suffered a lot".<ref name="AtTheGatesLucemFero"/> However, Björler has described ''Gardens of Grief'' as "an ok debut EP".<ref name="AtTheGatesLucemFero"/>
