Trivia

* “PTF2012” can be seen as a reference to the Mayan Calendar doomsday, 21 December 2012.
* “Schweigeminute” is a one-minute silence
* On “Forsaken”, The first line; "For thirty years, I have plotted to bring down the party. I am sick in mind and body" is a direct reference from the movie adaption of George Orwell's 1984. The last line in the song “If you’re frightened of dying, and you’re holding on — you’ll see devils tearing your life away. If you made your peace — then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth” is from the movie "Jacob’s Ladder".
* Ronan Harris often refers to "Praise The Fallen" as a way of self-help through a difficult time of his life — in particular the track “Forsaken”, of which a vocal version was recorded. This version, when sung live, is an emotional experience for Ronan, and he has been known to break down in tears.
