Audio clips in the beginnings of "Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire" and "Revenge I Seek" were taken from the cult movie The Boondock Saints.

Music videos were made for the songs "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" and "On Wings of Lead". "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" is also available in a censored form on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball: Volume 2 collection (this is the same edit as the video version). The song "Shadow Walker" is a re-recorded version of a song from the band's debut album Dust to Ashes.
