This is also the last album Voivod completed before guitarist Denis D'Amour (Piggy) died of colon cancer in 2005.

This album is notable for gaining the band greater exposure to a younger audience.

A music video was produced for "We Carry On" and received heavy rotation on MTV2's Headbangers Ball and Fuse TV's Uranium upon release.

The band was also interviewed on the latter program with Newsted detailing his transition from Metallica to Voivod, a group of which he had been a longtime fan.

This had Newsted assuming bass duties for both Voivod and headlining act, Ozzy Osbourne.
