Two editions of the record were made available: A limited double digipack with different artwork, one bonus track ("Age of Mothers"),a different version of the song "Scorpion Flower", the full album as well as a bonus DVD containing all video clips from "Memorial" plus "Finisterra" "making-of" footage and three live clips from the 2007 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Germany; plus the jewel case edition.

Colic previously worked with the group on the "Memorial" video for "Finisterra".
