Notes:
The logos of the bands Teitanblood and Morne appear on the figure on the cover art.
The sticker placed on shrink-wrap says:
Darkthrone's all-new sonic attack of metal and punk; a fist in the face of the underground.
"Let's see who stands when the smoke clears... Circle their wagons!!!"
- Fenriz
"I Am the Graves of the 80s" is dedicated to Gezol (Sabbat/Metalucifer).
The title of track 9 is inspired by a swedish film and means Don't Burn the Castle.
The catalog number ANTI-KING OV HELL 001 appeared in the liner notes. Fenriz has openly expressed disdain and hatred for King many times , mocking him and having held regard for him as one of the “Überposers constantly trying to destroy real metal”, and stated that he would not consider Darkthrone as black metal anymore. “If what King ov Hell is doing is something anyone would call black metal. Let’s just say that we ditched the boat before all the dead meat sank it. Again. We play our own brand of heavy-metal speed punk now.”
