Videos were made of the first two tracks, but neither of them were ever aired on MTV. "Forever" contains epilepsy-inducing imagery and "Reality" contains extremely grisly images taken from a medical school. The Berzerker frontman Luke says that the video for "Reality" was filmed in four days on a budget of $340.
