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.

On August 16, 2023, the band released a re-recorded version of "Love Lost in a Hail of Gun Fire" to commemorate the album's 20th anniversary. During the same recording sessions, the band also re-recorded the songs "On Wings of Lead" and "Number Seven with a Bullet".
