This is the first Soilwork release to feature Ola Frenning and Henry Ranta.

There is an instrumental hidden track on "Room No 99" as the song ends at 5:00 followed by silence until the 7:00 minute mark where the hidden track begins. The hidden track transitions perfectly into the opening title track.
