Notes

The song "Born Under the Knife, Live in Pain" begins with a sound sample of Cheryl from the first Silent Hill video game.The lyrics to "Forms on the Other Side of Silence" are a near-100% quotation of the Stephen King short story "Crouch End" from his "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" collection."cite web | url=http://metal-archives.com/release.php?id=20493]
