The title track is largely based on the melody of the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down", though the band's use of it stems from the "Happy Happy Halloween" theme from the film Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

"Metal Invaders" is a re-recording of the demo that appeared on the "Death Metal" split (1984).

Recording information:

Recorded and mixed between September and October 1985 at the Music Lab Studio in West Berlin, West Germany.

Co-produced by Helloween.
