  • The album originally meant to feature an eleventh song, named "Dawn Star". However, the record company insisted on removing the track from the final release. The track saw the light of day on October 2010 when it was featured in the setlist of the Rocktopia Podcast, AhORa Rock.
  • The cover of the album was designed by Luis Royo making it the second TEN release to feature a cover designed by this artist. The first cover he made for the band was for their 1998 release Spellbound.
