The band started embracing a more complex approach that would lay the grounds for their later style. The EP has been reissued by Nuclear Blast in November 2018, the first four tracks are also available on the Contradictions Collapse reissue while the fifth track is on the Destroy Erase Improve reissue. This is the band's first release to feature rhythm guitarist Mårten Hagström.
