Epic reissue
On Mar 22, 2005, it was re-released by Epic Records. The album has been remixed by Colin Richardson, remastered by Mark Wilder and features new liner notes by original producer Steve Austin (from noisecore band Today Is the Day). The cover art was changed in order to be store friendly, but retains the original artwork in the booklet. A live video of the song "Bloodletting", taken from the Killadelphia DVD was included on an enhanced portion of the disc in QuickTime format.
The inlay of the CD case reads "Der Teufel Nennt Mich Bruder", German for "The Devil Calls Me Brother".
