Track 5 of this CD has a nice history: the first European pressing by Black Mark Production had noted track 5 as "Shadows of the Moon", a short (1:14) quasi-instrumental in the booklet and on the back cover, but by mistake they pressed "Inborn Evil" as the song on the CD. Approx. 1000 CDs were pressed for the US market by Cargo Records Germany where track 5 was noted as "Shadows of the Moon" in the booklet and on the back cover and where "Shadows of the Moon" is also pressed on CD. This record is the one and only pressing with this instrumental song "Shadows of the Moon".

All other European reissues by Hammerheart Records, Painkiller Records and Karmageddon Media have "Inborn Evil" noted on the back cover/booklet and the song "Inborn Evil" pressed on the CD/LP.
