The bonus track, "Hellas Hellas", has been a staple in Grave Digger's sets whenever they played Greece, since the 90s. Chris Boltendahl heard it while holidaying in Greece, learned it phonetically, and sang it for their Greek fans. R.D. Liapakis helped Chris with pronunciation for this recorded version.
