Videos were made for Refuse / Resist, Territory and Slave New World.
The original version included a hidden bonus at the end of "Clenched Fist" in the form of laughter outtakes from "We Who Are Not As Others", increasing the length of track 12 to 8:01. An American pressing on Epic separates the laughter outtakes to a 13th track lasting 2:01.
Acoustic version of "Kaiowas", recorded live at MTV studios, was released only on MTV Headbanger's Ball 1995 compilation under the name "Kaiowas (Para MTVE "Most Wanted") (03:08).
Track 5 is inspired by a Brasilian Indian tribe called "Kaiowas", who lived in the rain forest. They committed mass suicide as a protest against the government, who was trying to take away their land and beliefs.
