A parody of this album cover was used on the Flattened Earth The Glorious LARP single, which had lyrics based around the fact that Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer was among the pro-Trump terrorist mob that stormed the US Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021, in a failed attempt to stop the certification of president-elect Joe Biden, leaving some dead, many injured, and countless traumatized.
In interviews at the time of release, responding to fans who were turned off by the lyrical content of this album, Schaffer said it was "their problem".
Recording information:
Recorded at Schaffer Sound aka "The Dungeon".
