The album was released with two different versions: a "Life" version and a "Death" version which both came with different cover art (designed by guitarist Billy Martin) and a special bonus track. There is also an import Japanese version that also has a different cover art as well as the special bonus tracks from both the "Life" and "Death" Versions, including the hidden track "Wounded" in the end of the album. The album sold 150,000 in the first week.
