Intoxicate O.S. is the first Shade Empire album to include a video, "Chemical God." The video caused some controversy due to the fact it contained "flashing images", reason for which it was banned from MTV.

Regardless of this, the album turned out to be decently successful commercially, since it reached number 25 in weekly Finnish album sales, as stated at FinnishCharts.
