In Latin, Non serviam translates to "I will not serve", and Biblically refers to Satan's refusal to serve God.[3] It also has some different connotations in secular literary works.

Frontman Sakis Tolis has the words tattooed on his stomach.[4]

After 12 years of discontinued print, the album was re-released by The End Records in 2006.

Contrary to popular belief that drum programming was used on this album, the drums were actually recorded live using an electronic drum kit.[5]
