"Introduction" contains a sample from the fantasy TV series "Xena - Warrior Princess"; the poem is an altered version of a poem from the sci-fi TV series "Space 2063". It also contains a fragment of "The Wedding" theme from the movie Excalibur (1981), composed by Trevor Jones. This fragment can also be heard in the song "Mystery" by Lord Wind, from the album Heralds of Fight.
The story told at the beginning of "Amarok - Zorn Des Lammes" is taken from the German version of Neil Jordan's movie "The Company of Wolves" (1984) and was also slightly changed/cut.

The booklet contains the three infamous phrases:
"Zur höheren Ehre des deutchen [sic] Soldaten der Wehrmacht 1933–1945. Die Negierung ihrer Leistungen sowie das Augenverschließen vor ihrer Opferbereitschaft, gerade im letzten Kriegsjahr, ist die Schande unserer Nation!"
"German hateful and misanthropic Black Metal, made from White man for White man."
"Absurd, good to know yeah [sic] out of jail !!!."
