[edit] Trivia
- The track War is featured in the video-game Alan Wake
- The track 15 Minute Flame was partly inspired by the movie The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis
- The album is the first the band considers to feature "cinematic rock" instead of "alternative rock" on the previous three albums
- The harlequin on the cover is based on a photo showing the band's vocalist Marko Saaresto
- The ticket on the album-cover contains the original release date of the album as well as a sequence of numbers that translates into Hamartia
