On March 21, 2006, the album was re-released with a new artwork, a slightly different mix, and seven bonus tracks. These tracks consist of the re-recorded version of the Forever Scorned EP, as well as cover of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence." It is also packaged with a DVD that has three music videos and behind-the-scenes material.
In 2008, Trustkill released the album on vinyl as double-LP set featuring both The Caitiff Choir and Forever Scorned. Two versions exist; a yellow and dark gray version and a blue and light gray version.
