Notes

edit
  • "Beast Denies" is an early version of "Reality, a New Beginning" from War of Words, but with different lyrics
  • "Dead Men Talk" contains some parts that would later end up in the song "Human Crate" from A Small Deadly Space
  • "Psycho Suicide" would be re-recorded and be featured as a hidden track after a two-minute silence on "In a World of My Own Making" from A Small Deadly Space
