The limited digipak edition includes one bonus track ("Eternal Ban") and a video clip for "Total Desaster".[citation needed] The 2-LP version does not include the bonus track and the running order of the tracks is partly different. A sequel to this album titled Thrash Anthems II was released in November 2017 and features a compilation of other classic songs that have been newly re-recorded.
