Music videos were made for Rapture and God of Emptiness.
The album was the first death metal album released on a major label (only in the U.S.). Some original copies have the parental advisory label on the covers which were later removed in future releases of the CD.
'Rapture' and 'Vengeance Is Mine' are featured in the horror movie Night of the Demons 2.
The Giant Records version of the album changed the front cover slightly by omitting the two circular sigils located on the left hand page of the open book in the top right hand corner of the cover.
The 2011 Earache digipack re-release omits only the left sigil.
Recording information:
Engineered at Morrisound Studios (Tampa, Florida).
Mixed at Sweet Silence Studios (Copenhagen, Denmark).
Co-produced by Morbid Angel.
