The original release has two Japanese bonus tracks, "Disintegrated Skies" and "Burn", a Deep Purple cover.^[2] Century Media re-released the album in 2000 with different cover art and a live track of "Sadistic Lullabye".^[3]

This album is a firm example of the band's immediate roots in Swedish melodic death metal. The song "Demon in Veins", is a revised version of "Wake Up Call" off their demo; the lyrics changed are in the chorus.
