The last three songs make up "The Suffering" trilogy.
The limited and numbered digipack version includes a cover of Judas Priest's "The Ripper" (2:42), which is also available on "The Melancholy". This album is based on the story of Todd McFarlane's Spawn comic book.
Although Dave Abell recorded all the bass tracks for this album before leaving the band, Keith Menser's picture is featured on the back cover and in the liner notes (although Abell recieves credit as the bassist). This is because Keith was intended to help the band on tour, and Century Media demanded the touring lineup on the back cover. However, Keith did not know any of the songs on the touring setlist, so he was forced to leave. James MacDonough and Brent Smedley ended up playing bass and drums, respectively, on the following two tours.
The limited and numbered Digipak was limited to 6,666 copies.
Also released on gatefold LP, limited to 2,000 copies.
Reissued by Century Media in 1998. The first standard edition has a CD painted violet. The standard reissue has a CD with a picture on it.
