History

The album was reissued in 2002 with the Temple of the Lost Race EP as bonus tracks and then again in 2013 by Seasons of Mist. Though someone named "Jim" is credited for drums, in fact all drums were programmed, with the exception of "Morpheus (the Dreamlord)", which features drumming by Nick Adams (who also performed session work for the Greek black metal act Necromantia).

The cover art on the original vinyl edition is the only one of Septic Flesh's cover arts to not be done by bassist/vocalist Spiros Antoniou; it was made by Boris Vallejo.
