The cover art was supposed to be the cover of Sepultura's album Beneath the Remains but Roadrunner Records let Obituary use it first even though Cause of Death was released in 1990, a year after "Beneath the Remains". Sepultura chose another Michael Whelan illustration instead.

Reissued by Roadrunner Records on September 9th 2003 as a part of Roadrunner's Two from the Vault series remastered along with Slowly We Rot on 2 CD's, CD 2 has the same bonus tracks as the 1998 reissue.

Recording information:

Recorded and mixed at Morrisound Studios, Tampa, Florida.
Mastered at Fullersound, Miami, Florida.
Sound effects created by Kent Smith, Soundsmith Productions.
Co-produced by Obituary.
