Redimus continues along the sound originally heard on Kings of Chaos, with death metal-style guitars, tempos and growls mixed with symphonic black metal keyboards, melodies and grim screaming. There are also elements of progressive tendencies, as evidenced in the title track and "Morbeea", an acoustic track heavily influenced by Spanish flamenco music.
Jason Mendonça of Akercocke fame guest-stars on the track "An Eternal Belief".
The drawing used as the album's cover is "Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon", an engraving by Albrecht Dürer.
