Overview

"Totalimmortal" was released as a single[3] and had a music video directed by Brent Waroniecki. The video is black and white and features the band playing in a dark room, walking around at night and in forests.

The track was covered by The Offspring for the soundtrack to the film Me, Myself and Irene as well.[4] "The Boy Who Destroyed the World" was included in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.[5]

The album was released on October 5, 1999, through Nitro Records.[1] The band supported its release with a tour with Sick of It All in October and November, before supporting Danzig in late November.[6] A limited edition 20th-anniversary picture disc was released on October 25, 2019.[7]

Artwork

The band name and EP title appear in yellow in an illustrated font characteristic of horror punk. In the foreground of the illustration by Alan Forbes are a pumpkin-headed scarecrow and a hissing black cat standing on a grassy knoll. Behind them are a wooden fence and a dead tree with face-like forms hidden in its bark. Bats fly in the dark blue sky, and a few tombstones are visible on top of a more distant hill.

The back illustration shows the landscape to the left of the scarecrow, with additional hills, fences, tombstones, bats and dead trees, as well as jack-o'-lanterns and a small shack in front of a large moon. The track listing appears in the same illustrated typeface as the cover. The foreground jack-o'-lantern also appears in the liner notes (along with band photos), on the CD label and behind the CD tray. On the inside spine is the hidden message "Boo!"
