Re-recordings
Every track, except for "Under the Knife", has been re-recorded and included on another Hatebreed album, providing better versions of songs which suffered from sub-par production quality.
"Not One Truth" and "Puritan" were included on Hatebreed's 1997 full-length Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire.
"Smash Your Enemies" was re-recorded for the 2002 release Perseverance.
In 2005, "Severed" was re-recorded and added as a bonus track for the UK release of Supremacy.
"Kill an Addict" and "Filth" were iTunes exclusive tracks for the special edition of Hatebreed's self-titled album in 2009. This special edition is no longer available on iTunes.
