"We recorded this album twice. The first version was recorded in Berlin and the record company said that: "No, it is awful - …so bad and shit…". We had to record it twice and the second recording we did nearby in Nürnberg, Germany. This recording has one bonus track because we had another guitar player. It was a completely different recording and as for that trash press made in Berlin, it was just for the US import. And it was a mistake of the company as they changed the tapes, so there was a complete new recording of "Obsessed by Cruelty".
The original recording from Berlin is used on the original US edition, released by Metal Blade, and most editions of the album on all formats. Only the European Steamhammer edition of the LP seems to contain the second recording from Studio Hilpoltstein with the additional "After the Deluge" track.
