Singles

The first single, named "No Fear" was released on September 5 2005. The second single, "Sail Away", was released on November 14 2005. The third single from the album was "Shot". Unfortunately, due to poor sales ever since "Dead Letters" and "In the Shadows", this single is only available by download in the UK. It was released on April 24 2006. A video has also been made for "Immortal", yet it is not confirmed as a single.

Videos

The video for "No Fear" includes a girl who The Rasmus 'feel for' by singing about her life and how she feels. The girl has an obsession with butterflies and follows them out of her small dark bedroom as she sleep-walks. Unaware of her sleep-walking she accidentally steps on broken glass on top of a roof and falls through to where the band is playing. But has she died? She appears to end up in a beautiful garden with a bed randomly placed in the middle, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. However, she also stays in her dingy bedroom, gloomily looking up at the framed butterfly picture on her wall. The effect is added to at the end by reusing several of the shots seen at the beginning of the video.

In the video for "Sail Away" singer Lauri is walking slowly down a cold-looking beach, singing. He sees a man coming up onto the shore carrying a bird-cage and he carries on walking. Lauri also sees more odd happennings, such as two children dancing around a wood sculpture (possibly a pyre) in gas masks. Lauri enters a shack, lucky enough to walk in just in time as a sand-storm occurs and seeps into the shack. Aki (drummer) and Eero (bassist) both turn into sand-figures. At the end of the video, Aki's head and Eero's arms both fall off.

In the video for "Shot" the band seems to be in outer space, singing on a desert-like planet. The video consists of mainly alternating between close-ups of each bandmember and different angles of the whole band. Fast zooms and camera angle changes are used in parts of the video. At one point, there is a close-up of singer Lauri's eye and a comet flickers across his iris. This is very similar to a part of the video for "First Day of My Life", in which a close up of Lauri's eye is seen with a reflection of a racing track.

The video for "Immortal" is pieced together from various live performances of the song.
