The single spent a total of 11 weeks on the Finnish charts, two of which were at number 1.\n

It was usually the last song played live at Children of Bodom shows. The band sometimes used an extended intro by keyboardist Janne Wirman in which Laiho and guitarist Roope Latvala played the riffs of famous metal songs (such as Dio's Holy Diver and Judas Priest's Breaking the Law) after which they began playing the song's main riff.\n
