Read Not the Chimaira I love,... 65% Bloodstone December 2nd, 2014

This EP contains 69 tracks total, many of these tracks are just 3 seconds of silence each (tracks 6-12 and 15-68). Buried amongst these blank tracks exist 3 bonus songs: track 13 is called "Empty" (6:23) and 14 is called "Silence" (3:21). Track 69 is a joke song called "Satan's Wizards" (2:07).

The hidden tracks, "Empty" and "Silence" are early Chimaira demo songs which were recorded with original bassist, Andrew "AE" Ermlick. The band wanted the songs to be on the record and for AE to be part of the record but they didn't have the money to bring him in to re-record them so the group decidedly just added in these demo tracks of the songs instead. The two tracks are hidden so that the CD could remain at 5 songs and thus can still be sold at the price of an EP.

The sample at the end of "Sphere" is from the film The Shawshank Redemption.

At least two bootlegs of the EP exist, and the only known time it was officially reissued came bundled as a second disc for the Dehumanizing Process DVD. This disc also contained two bonus songs (“Gag” and “Refuse to See”).

Recording information:

Recorded in three days (November 1 - 3, 1999) at Spider Studios (Olmsted Falls, Ohio).
