Official music video (made in 2017 in the context of a re-release):
- Pleasure to Kill.
Mille was notably inspired by the film Faces of Death (1978) during writing/recording. He claims that every song on the album is concerning a different way to die.
Michael Wulf was in the band for a few days and didn't play on the album, despite him getting credit.
Includes printed inner sleeve.
First album to feature the band's unnamed demon "mascot" on the front cover.
The intro track "Choir of the Damned" runs for 0:46 on the original issues of the album and only in this CD version. An extended version running for 1:39 was introduced on all other CDs versions and the 2000 reissues (as well as all subsequent reissues).
Recording information:
Recorded at Musiclab Studio, Berlin, 1986.
Mastered at Studio-Nord-Breman, Germany.
