"Gravity Killed The Spaceman", the ninth song on the album, recognizes David Bowie's Space Oddity while "Major Tom" is a cover of Peter Schilling's 1980s hit single paired with an original framework from the ensemble.

The video for "Dodging a Bullet", the third song on the album, was directed by Adam Hendershott and Industrialism Films. The video features the musicians reenacting Pulp Fiction.{{cite web|author=|url=http://www.metal4all.com/heaven-below-released-dodging-a-bullet-music-video/ |title=Heaven Below Released 'Dodging A Bullet' Music Video |publisher=Metal4all.com |date=2013-04-15 |accessdate=2013-11-25}}{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlCPVSV8M0 |title=Dodging A Bullet |publisher=YouTube |date=2013-04-14 |accessdate=2013-11-25}}
