Trivia:
- The samples used on tracks 1 and 6 are from The Exorcist III (1990).
- The bridge on track 2 is inspired by the soundtrack to The Rock (1996).
- Some sections of track 5 are recycled from "Talking of the Trees" off of Inearthed's final demo: Shining.
- Two different mixes exist, featuring minor aesthetic differences.
The Nuclear Blast and Mystic Production releases contain a different mix. The first mix was done by Peter Tagtgren in the Abyss studio soon after the recording. It can be heard only on the Nuclear Blast releases (Europe & USA). Later on, the band wanted to change some small things and gave the album to the hands of Mikko Karmila who did some additional treatment for it. We call this the 2nd mix and it can be heard on the Spinefarm (Finland), Toy's Factory (Japan), FONO (Russia/CIS-States) and One Music (South Korea) releases. But there aren't any big changes. Biggest ones are:
- Follow The Reaper - 0:37 - 2nd mix has no scream, 1st mix does.
- Hate Me! - 2:58 - 1st mix has church bells, 2nd mix doesn't.
- Northern Comfort - 1:43 - 1st mix has vocals here that were removed in the 2nd mix.
