Transcription
Background
The album was recorded at Bombshelter Studios and "The Danger Zone" in Los Angeles. The deluxe edition includes a bonus DVD with 52 minutes of never-before-released music videos featured in the 2008 Dethklok tour.[4] Two bonus tracks were originally promised for the deluxe edition of the album; however, Brendon Small had never recorded or planned to include bonus tracks. The announcement was a marketing error.[5] A guitar transcription book of this album was released through Alfred Music Publishing.[6] Six tracks from this album are included in the Dethklok bass tab anthology.[7]
Other media appearances
"Laser Cannon Deth Sentence" is featured as a downloadable track for Guitar Hero 5.[8] "Bloodlines" is featured as a playable track in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.[9] The song "The Cyborg Slayers" was featured in the soundtrack for the game Saints Row: The Third.[10]
