The title comes from a line in the song Bloodmeat: "Thus now the fools of god will guard the city of our birth, hold an ear to the ground to hear the sound of clamoring, and horses stammer as their gallop meets the earth."

In March 2010, the DVD was certified gold by the CRIA for selling over 5,000 copies.[3]
