It was released on cd, vinyl (limited) and an ultra limited art package of 100 copies including both the vinyl and the cd, and a unique piece of art by Mike Peters. The bundle that came with the art package also included the Viral Black (in session) cd, the Live at the Gathering 10″ vinyl and the Heroine cd single.
The vinyl version was re-released together with a vinyl version of Blood Red in 200 numbered copies in a clear gatefold plastic sleeve, each copy individually numbered and signed by Mike Peters and including an art board.
