The instrumental/karaoke version on the album was linked with a competition where fans could send their version of "Blood Bound" to Nuclear Blast and win a meet and greet with the members of HammerFall on their shows in April 2005.[1]
The artwork was made by Samwise Didier following an original idea by Joacim Cans and Oscar Dronjak.
