Notes

edit
  • Ten tracks were originally recorded for the album. The missing track is a short instrumental intro which the band played live only a few times prior to recording the album. The track was scrapped before the album was released. Copies of the album with the instrumental intro may have leaked prior to the album's release.
  • Eight out of the Nine songs on the album were written while Switchblade was a four piece band. When second guitarist Scott Bernasconi joined the band in mid-2004, the songs were re-worked. "Wings of Redemption" is the only track to be written by both Andrew Najdek, and Scott Bernasconi together.
