Trivia

*About 20 seconds after the end of 'The Pentecostal' (about 3:06), there is a hidden track played on piano.
*The 3 second long indistinguishable phrase said at the start of 'When Heaven Burns', when played backwards, says either "Doing it all for my love of Satan." or "I smell smoke"
*The song "Fuck Your God" has been used to scare military detainees in Iraq. [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/19/usa.guantanamo "How US interrogators use music as a tool of torture", The Guardian, June 19, 2008] ]
