The song "For the Love of God" is available for download for the 2007 video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and was voted the 29th best solo of all time by a readers' poll in Guitar World magazine. Like many other releases by Vai, the album is largely instrumental, with only spoken word pieces being featured in terms of vocals, which are performed by many guests. The equipment used to record Passion and Warfare was: Ibanez JEM and Universe guitars Charvel Green Meanie guitar Marshall JCM900 and Carvin X-100B amplifiers ADA MP-1 preamplifier Boss DS-1 distortion pedal Eventide H3000 harmonizer Lexicon 480L. The drums were subsequently re-recorded for the album.

Vai was introduced to Carvin by his mentor Frank Zappa, who had also used the X-100B. "Blue Powder" was originally recorded in 1986 as a showcase track for Carvin, using their X-100B amplifier, and given away with Guitar Player magazine in flexi disc format. For what would come to be one of his most popular songs to date, " For the Love of God", he fasted for ten days and recorded the song on the fourth day of the fast. Vai utilized many unusual recording techniques on the album. Vai states that planning the album started as early as 1982, but was shelved after joining the David Lee Roth band and not picked up again until parting ways with Roth in 1989. As such, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale has small spoken parts on the album Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg and Rudy Sarzo are credited with backing vocals. It was all recorded in The Mothership studio at his home in the Hollywood Hills, a 1,600-square-foot (150 m 2) building in which his guitar parts for Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue were also recorded.

Passion and Warfare was written based on a series of dream sequences that Vai had when he was younger, and in the guitar music book of the album, Vai sums it up as " Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur threw for Mel Blanc".
