A music video was produced for "Dry the River" and found substantial airplay on MTV2's "Headbangers Ball". It has the band performing in the shallow end of a creek and the surrounding forest at night. They are eventually subdued by apparent hunters and drug through the woods, as depicted on the album cover. Contrary to popular belief, Underoath drummer Aaron Gillespie does not appear in the video.

The song "Memories of the Grove" is featured in the video games "Tony Hawk's Proving Ground" and a downloadable track on "Guitar Hero II"
