This album was remastered by producer, and then-bassist, Dan Hulse in 2005 and re-released with new artwork that summer. A limited run of the album on cassette was also issued that year through Night Birds Records. The whole EP (save for "Awaiting the Inevitable") was later re-issued as part of Woods of Ypres' 2009 compilation CD Independent Nature 2002-2007. Each song on the album would remain a frequent addition in Woods of Ypres setlists to varying degrees since this EP was released.
