Music videos were produced for both "Mandibles" and "Punch The Walls." They saw moderate airplay on MTV2's Headbangers Ball in late 2003, which was key in helping garner a wider audience for the group. "Mandibles" was also featured on the first MTV2 Headbangers Ball compilation album that same year. Hatebreed singer Jamey Jasta, & formerly Ill Niño singer Cristian Machado, both made a guest appearance on the track Battle Lines.
