[edit] Opium video

The album was promoted by the first Moonspell music video "Opium", which contained imagery of 19th century-looking opium den. The video was banned in Germany for references drug abuse, although whether the lyrics promote drug use is unclear. Despite the ban, however, "Opium" became one of the best-known Moonspell songs ever.
