- INNERSLEEVES: printed paper innersleeves (the original innersleeves)
- RELEASED: Released on 27th of March 2015 (source: European Nuclear Blast webshop, Napal Records weshop and the bands official Finnish website).
- OTHER: Originally released sealed with numbered infosticker on the front on shrinkwrap and a barcode sticker on the back.
The infosticker informs this is limited to 200 copies.
100 copies were sold exclusively through Napalm Records mailorder in Austria and 100 exclusively through Nuclear Blast mailorder in Germany but
there is absolutely no difference between these two editions. The Napalm Records edition also comes with numbered Nuclear Blast sticker.
- NOTE 1: Napalm Records webshop informs:
"Strictly Limited SILVER 2-LP Gatefold Edition. Exclusive 100 copies available in Austria through the Napalm Records Mailorderand Online Store.
First album with new Vocalist Floor Jansen" (source: Napal Records webshop)
and Nuclear Blast webshop informs:
"Limited to 200 silver double vinyls in a gatefold sleeve. Mailorder exclusive!" (source: Nuclear Blast webshop).
- NOTE 2: These sound much like the gold vinyl edition and IMHO are not worth the extra money, except for collectors
(many NB silver vinyl cost few € extra which, with the exception of newness hype, I've never understood why).

- NOTE: The sound quality is poor compared to the black vinyl (possibly even worse than on the picture vinyl) though this one looks VERY neat.
