The music video for the song is entirely animated, with only a short animated portrayal of the band members. The film, created by Keita Kurosaka, was shown at the 2007 International Film Festival Rotterdam for its "animation based on their music exemplifying his fascination for violence and relationships". [1]

The version released in the United States, collaboratively between Warcon and Fontana, was exclusively sold through For Your Entertainment, and marketed as an EP.[2]

A live recording of "Agitated Screams of Maggots" is featured on the "Dozing Green" single.[3]
