The intro of "Doom over Dead Man" is placed in the pregap of track 10. However, most CD ripping software adds the pregap to the previous track. This causes a tracklist error where the intro of "Doom over Dead Man" appears at the end of "A Beast Am I". In this case the length of track 9 is 5:14 and the length of track 10 is 5:55. The error exists widely on digital versions of the album including iTunes and Amazon.
Track 2 is misprinted as Töcks's Taunt on most back covers.
Trivia
- The album peaked at #34 on the Billboard 200.
- In Norse mythology Surtur is the leader of the fire giants and the oldest being in the nine worlds.
