The Infinite Order is the seventh studio album from Christian metal band Living Sacrifice released January 26, 2010. The album, produced by Jeremiah Scott and mixed and mastering done by Andy Sneap marks a return for the band since their prior album in 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.solidstaterecords.com/releases/737/The_Infinite_Order/|title=Solid State Records - The Infinite Order }} Because the manufacturer used the wrong master, the first pressing has an additional song "Of My Flesh, Of My Heart" on track 12 that was intended to be a bonus track on a possible European release. Future pressings will have the intended 11 tracks.{{cite web|url=http://www.bandsonfire.com/resources/release-presentations/article/living-sacrifice-the-infinite/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091017081738/http://www.bandsonfire.com/resources/release-presentations/article/living-sacrifice-the-infinite|url-status=usurped|archive-date=October 17, 2009|title=BANDSONFIRE - Living Sacrifice|date=January 26, 2010}} They have since made a deluxe edition of the album available only through iTunes. The deluxe edition features new artwork, one bonus studio track, two live bonus tracks, and the In Finite Live DVD. Music videos were made for the songs "Rules of Engagement" and "Overkill Exposure".{{Citation needed|date=April 2012}} "Love Forgives" is inspired by the book of 1 Corinthians 13.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}}
