* Josh Moore actually did not appear on their first demo cassette tapes for this album. Joe Musten used to play drums and do vocals. They asked Josh to join the band a few months later and proceeded to record a second demo tape. They had a sort of "release concert" at First Christian Church located in
Kernersville , NC. The tape sold very well and they decided to record a full length including newly recorded versions of the 4 tracks that appeared on the demo tapes. The demo tapes included the songs "In Dreams", "Things Change", "Restless Hearts" and "Tears Of Blood"* The long-awaited album was finally released in the summer of 2000. Jamie King (of Swift) recorded the album at his studio "The Basement" in King, NC.
* The sample featured in the track "In Dreams" is taken from the movie The NeverEnding Story.
* "All Consuming Fire" is actually a modern praise and worship song and features Jessica McGee as the female singer backing Joe.
* There is a "bonus/goof" track at the end of the last track. (fast forward some ways into) It is rumored that John (their bassist) wrote the bulk of this little diddy. The only "vocals" on the hidden track are of the band members making strange noises into modulators with effects.
* The album was released only once. Best guess, there were maybe 1000 copies ever made.
* To many fans, "this" was their greatest release to date. In the months after it's release, Shawn Dallas was asked to leave the band and was replaced by Matt Harrison (a long-time friend of the other members). The band (and their sound) was never the same again (for better or worse).
* Shortly after their next release "The Running E.P.", John Brehm too was asked to leave and was replaced by Mitch Britt. Mitch didn't stay long and was quickly replaced by Johnny Smrdel.
