The first pressing of the album was released with a different cover (yellow goat). Quorthon didn't like the yellow colour, so after about 1000 copies, he changed the colour from yellow to white (depicted here). All original Black Mark pressings come with a lyric sheet insert.

Another pressing, from Colombia, was made by Mauricio "Bull Metal" Montoya and released as a bootleg split with Hellhammer's "Apocalyptic Raids" on side A and "Bathory" on side B. It was limited to 300 copies.

The original title for this album was Pentagrammaton, but this title was discarded when several people read it as "Pentagon".

The cover image is a retouched portion of a drawing made by Jos A. Smith in 1981 for the book Witches by Erica Jong.

On the reissue of the CD in 1990, "Storm of Damnation" and the outro aren't mentioned in the tracklist. The 2003 CD reissue combines "Storm of Damnation" and "Hades" into one track.

Regarding the spelling of Track 4: Sheets of Old English rub-on letters had already been purchased for rubbing the logo and the song titles. At some point during rubbing the song titles the night before turning the lay-out in for printing, it was discovered that they were one letter "c" short. Thinking nobody would ever notice anyway, and figuring a "s" sound though spelled with a "c" could easily be written with a "s" just as well, an "s" was duly used instead of a "c". Thus the title "Necromancy" became "Necromansy".
