[edit] Trivia

  • The samples of the menacing voice saying "Beware, I live!" (among other things) in the song "Grand Ol' Party Crash" are from the 1982 arcade game Sinistar.
  • This is the first Cage album ever that contains no misogyny in the form of the word "bitch". It is not said once.
  • He seems to be done with his long lived feud with Eminem as he does not mention it at all.

[edit] Limited Edition

Hell's Winter is also available as a "Limited Edition" 2-disc set. Disc 2 is an instrumental version of the complete album. It also features a computer software program called UMIXIT by Cakewalk. The program allows the user to remix two songs from Hell's Winter.
