Nuclear Blast changed their distribution-structure so this was one of the first releases on the label that was not distributed through SPV but Warner Music in the German speaking territories.

Despite numerous open-air shows – among others the Wacken Open Air, the world's biggest metal-fest – they recorded in the band's own studio the follow-up album 'Twinaleblood'.
